Hi everyone,

This is my first post in the forum and thank you for the opportunity. My question is:

How to make a gapfill question to accept multiple answers? For ex:

Question: Who is the Gotham Protector?

Answer: ------------------------

Answer syntax is: {1:SHORTANSWER:%100%Batman}

How can we make the question should accept answers as batman, Dark Knight, dark knight? If the student enters any one of this answers, it should mark it as correct and give marks.


Thank you guys for your time in reading the post. smile

Are you using gap fill or cloze?  This should work in cloze?  Do you have the cloze editor?

Hi Harry,

Based on your sample answer syntax it looks like you are trying to use a Cloze type question. If that's correct, use the example Emma provided.

If you do want to use a gap fill question then the answer syntax would be:

Question: Who is the Gotham Protector?

Answer: [Batman|Dark Knight|batman|dark knight]

When editing the question, under More Options > Show more, if you remove the checkmark for Case Sensitive, then you could use this:

Question: Who is the Gotham Protector?

Answer: [batman|dark knight]
