Blanks Questions can be authored inside the Question Bank Editor by selecting Fill-in-the-blanks as the question type, or you can author them using LaTeX or plain-text script production paths.
To specify the form of the cell, use on of the following options.
[Menu] option. Select
a choice from a drop-down box. This variety of Fill-in-the-Blank
questions can be authored to provide context-sensitive feedback. That
is, you can provide a specific comment for each choice.
If you author in a text or HTML editor, use the lines:
qu.x.y.blank.<blank_num>=<correct_response>,<incorrect_1>,...,<incorrect_n>@
qu.x.y.grader.<blank_num>=menu@
in the question script. Use <<blank_num>>,
for example, <1>, to mark the location
of the drop-down box in the question statement.
[Text] option. Free-response
text fields
If you author in a text or HTML editor, use the lines:
qu.x.y.blank.<blank_num>=<correct_response_1>,...,<correct_response_n>@
qu.x.y.grader.<blank_num>=text@
in the question script. The correct responses are graded correct. Use
<<blank_num>>, for example, <2>, to mark the location of the text field
in the question statement.
[Formula]
option. Free-response
math cells
If you author in a text or HTML editor, use the lines:
qu.x.y.blank.<blank_num>=<correct_formula_1>,...,<correct_formula_n>@
qu.x.y.grader.<blank_num>=formula@
in the question script. The correct formulas are graded correct. Use
<<blank_num>>, for example, <3>, to mark the location of the formula cell
in the question statement.
