It is not possible to add Gapfill instances to Close, but I am interested in what you are asking. Does cloze add the hint information just after the space where the answer has been entered?
Thankyou for answering so promptly! I see the questions in "cloze " type are able to provide feedback right after the questions when we click "Check". Is there a way to add "gap fill" exercise to Cloze questions?
There is no capability for doing that. It is a nice idea but it would take a lot of custom development, or more likely a new question type. I cannot think of any other plugin/question type that would do that.
Is there a way to provide feedback every time students try the answer? (not in the hint part but right after the gaps) Because fill the gap my question is a long essay, giving hints at the bottom may not be appropriate. I know after each attempt the feedback will show, but only after they have click the "Summit" button, is there a way, after they click the "Check" button, they can get feedback right after the gap?
Trailing spaces may be an issue, try [Kennedy Space Center|Kennedy Space Centre in Florida|Kennedy Space Centre in Florida]. Note the responses will be incorrect if there is more than one space between the entered word
Hi Marcus
Apologies, I am having an issue, of my own making. I made a quiz using gap fill with square brackets, e.g.
Place of lift off: [Kennedy Space Centre]
I'd like to edit the possible answers so that it could include Kennedy Space Center/Kennedy Space Centre in Florida/ Kennedy Space Centre in Florida etc as options.
I tried doing [Kennedy Space Center |Kennedy Space Centre in Florida | Kennedy Space Centre in Florida] etc as options but that made all of those answers mark as wrong.
Any ideas what I should write please.
Thanks
Hi Serge can you open a ticket here
https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/issues
And can you confirm if the issue changes if you switch between options after text and confirm it happens with a core theme (e.g. Boost)
Hello Marcus,
I'm having the same trouble mentionned in https://github.com/marcusgreen/moodle-qtype_gapfill/issues/62 with version 2.131 on Moodle LMS 3.10. I tested on a brand new 3.10 installation : using 2.10 is OK but when upgrading to 2.131, the display is not correct : navigation, administration... blocks are displayed in the bottom instead of the right panel.
Thanks.
Serge
Can you email me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com
Yes, the student using mobile browser, not the moodle app. I also check myself and it's true, moodle reads ' differently based from laptop/computer and mobile browser.. so it's hard for teacher to give short answer question on English subjects for the student
I'don't know. When you say on a mobile phone, do you mean a mobile browser or from the app?
thank you so much
i have a question
the input character ' on gapfil or on short answer moodle always become a problem
for example word : can't
if student typing can't from mobile phone, the result always incorrect
but if student answer from the laptop or computer the word can't always correct
is that a bug on moodle on character ' ?
Thank you for that, I have added a note to the documentation https://docs.moodle.org/310/en/Gapfill_question_type#Prevent_typing_into_gaps
.que.gapfill input.droptarget {
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
pointer-events: none;
}
it's works on drag and drop without breaking gapfill and dropdown type! thank you so much, Marcus Green
My first wild guess would be to add pointer-events: none; in the CSS file like this. But it might break other bits.
.que.gapfill input.droptarget {
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
pointer-events: none;
}
