Graphic Text Entry
Inline Gap Match allows authors to create text-based questions with a dynamically created token bank of correct answers. Correct answers can be either plain text, rich text, mathematical equations or images.
Text fields can be placed anywhere on top of the image
The main difference between this and regular Text Entry is that this can be used together with background images to enable the student to identify and name different parts of the image. This may be especially useful for subjects like medicine, geography, and biology.
Examples:
- Write the names of the countries in the UK in text areas connected to each country.
- Identify/name different equipment used in a chemistry lab
- Identify/name the chambers in a heart
- Name the layers of Earth
- Name the layers of the human skin

- Images wider than 800px are automatically scaled to fit
- Images smaller than 800px will keep their width
- Width can be manually set.
- Height is automatically calculated
