There are working examples in eAssessment with Moodle on our OpenLearn site.

The documentation is in How to create questions in Moodle on that site.

This question type allows students to complete a paragraph of text by selecting the missing words using drop-down menus. You can make questions like this using the Cloze question type, but this question type is easier for teachers to get up, and presents the feedback in a more accessible way.

The question type was created by Jamie Pratt for the Open University.

    Could we have a version for 3.3 and / or 3.4 please? We are thinking upgrading but many of our plug-ins only work up to 3.1! Thanks!

    Since Moodle 3.2, this question type is part of the standard Moodle package. No addon needed!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to use multiple groups in this question type, but the same set of options is shown for both pull-down menus. Any ideas? Here is my question text:

    You are preparing to analyze an aqueous sample with significant particulate content. 1 sampling, the sample should be 2.

    I'm on Moodle 3.2.2.

    Thanks,
    Aaron

    Thanks, Tim. I guess I was confusing choice number and group number. It might be worth adding a warning/clarification to that point in the documentation.

    Hi Tim. I upgraded a Moodle system from version 2.3 to version 3.3.

    Version 2.3 had this plugin qtype_gapselect enabled, and several quizes had qtype_gapselect.

    After upgrade, those quizes aren't displaying but showing this error message at:

    /mod/quiz/startattempt.php

    "Unknown question type gapselect"

    Any suggestion on this issue is really apreciate.

    Note: In version 3.3 there is not version for this plugin; it should be in core.

    Hi!
    Any possibility to have more than 8 groups? If so, from where can we set it up?

    Thank you very much

    This can only be done by changing the code, but it is probalby not a hard change.

    Hi Tim,

    This sounds like a really useful question type! Any chance a 3.5 version is in the works? Hope all is going well.
