Gapfill

Hi Marcus, is there a way to ignore blanks AND to have math symbols such as * % all in one answer ?
For example I'd like to write : M = [N * 2] but I cannot put the asterisk * into the answer.
* I know I can disable Regex but if do that, then, it will not ignore spaces.
** HTML also doesn't help cuz I work with asterisks for multiplication instead of "x"
Thanks.

Hi Freddie that last post was for you.

I have tested Gapfill against a similar core question type with the Adaptive behaviour. It seems to work as I would expect.
You can see a video of it here

In the video I am using dropdowns but I get similar results when using drag and drop. The video is when
using the Moodle desktop app which is built from the same source as the Mobile app and is running the same
code as for mobile. I have also tested on the mobile app as well. Email me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com if you want to follow up.

Hi Marisol, I have reproduced the issue that you experienced and I am working on a fix.

Hi Freddie, I am assuming you are referring to the mobile app version, I will investigate and get back to you.

Hi marisol, that looks like a bug to me and I think I know what it is. I will investigate and let you know when I have a fix. You can email me directly at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com.

I am running Moodle 3.3. When I attempt to update from 1.95 to 1.96 I am getting the following error:

Hi Marcus. I think there is a a bug on app version when in adaptive mode. After you check the answers it seems it is impossible to replace them and submit them again within the same quiz attempt. I cannot at all seem to replace any answers after checking.

Thanks Marcus I appreciate the quick feedback--that information is helpful!

Thanks for the feedback Tiffany. The question type is limited to 1 mark per gap in order to keep the syntax as simple as possible. The Moodle core Cloze question type features some complex scoring capability in the manner you describe. I have been working on a new feature to allow per-gap feedback without requiring complex syntax. You can see an illustration here

I'm wondering if it is possible to have answers that earn partial credit, so one answer that is the best and earns all points, but one answer that is partially correct and earns a percent of the points?
Example, you might ask the student to select a healthy snack option and in the cloze question type you could write {1:MULTICHOICE:%50%Orange Juice~%50%Apple Juice~%100%Strawberries~%0%soda} And the result is the student earns half points possible if they choose orange juice or apple choice, all points possible if they choose strawberries, and zero points if they choose soda.
Thanks!

Great to hear from you! I haven't seen any notifications of your message. So, I'll send you an email with description, screenshots and exported questions.
THANK you so much for your attention!

Hi Boris, I appear to have received your last message again (the one from 27 Mar) again. I am assuming that was a mistake, if not please either post here again or email me directly.

With multiple attempts/instant feedback and hints you will see feedback and a "Try again" button when you get an incorrect answer. You can experiment with it on this web site questiontype.uk/mdl Gapfill course (username and password are given). The question with the picture of the cat illustrates this. If that doesn't clarify things, export a few of your questions in xml format with a description of your setup and I will go over the steps on one of my machines. Let me know how it goes and you can email me at marcusavgreen at gmail dot com.

Hello, Marcus! First I want to thank you for the plugin, it's really great.
But I have an issue with it. And I hope you can help me. So here's the situation:
I'm using a series of gapfill questions (drag & drop mode) in a quiz with immediate feedback. This way the learner can see feedback after each question and adjust, improving his/her performance ot he way. But after having hit the first "Check" button, the learner can't move any other choices (the words given to fill in the gaps). I've tested it on Chrome, on Mobile Chrome and on Microsoft Edge, but got the same result.
If there's a cure for it I would apreciate it very much!
If you need more details, please ask.
Looking forward to hearing from you, and again thanks for the plugin!
