Gapfill question type V1.6 for Moodle

A very easy to use Cloze question type that supports drag/drop answers that work on mobile devices. Teachers can define the question with square braces to define the missing words. For example
The [cat] sat on the [mat]. Alternative delimiting characters can be defined during question edit
for example The #cat# sat on the #mat# can be valid.

If the dropdown or dragdrop options are set in the question edit form, it can display
a shuffled selection of correct and wrong answers. These can then can be selected via
dropddropdown lists or javascript powered drag and drop functionality.
