Automatic evaluation. The question is answered by dragging correct answers (tokens) to gaps in text. 

Inline Gap Match enables 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.

Author workflow:

  • When using images as correct answers, option to set Individual token size not always reflected correctly in student interface. We recommend using default option Auto-size to largest token. 
  • When adding equations as part of question text inside interaction element, these equations are not always saved correctly. 
  • If interaction element (background) is not already selected, selecting a gap requires two clicks (as the interaction element is wrongly selected first)
  • Selecting interaction element does not always deselect question (global blue border)
  • Action to remove exiting gap hidden in Gap options
  • When inserting a new gap, it should be automatically selected and field for correct answer focused directly. 

Student:

  • Improved support for answering question using keyboard only
