Hi Emanuela,
I suppose you mean you want to control the size of the Short Answer sub-question within a Cloze question?
What do you mean by "control" the size? You want to make it a fixed length, the length of the correct answer? etc. Please be more specific.

What, no keyboard and no mouse? not for me, then.

Hi La Gayle,

It certainly has occurred to me that students may copy information and pass it off for their own work, either in good faith or with the definite intention of cheating. I maintain, however, that a good teacher who knows his subject, knows his students (their strengths and their limits) and has the right amound of flair and professional skills will detect most - if not all - of attempts at plagiarism in his students' submitted work.

Hi Claire,

Thanks for bringing to our attention the (not so new) Block: Crot: a new block for plagiarism detection. Why not discuss it in the already existing forum discussion here?

I might give that block a try. However, like our friend Don, I tend to be rather skeptical about plagiarism detectors in general. In my opinion, the best detector is the good teacher.

Hi,
Is this the kind of escalation device you have in mind?
