[ARCHIVED] What is word bank and how does it work for fill in the blank questions in new quizzes?

[browning339l]

What does "word bank" mean for a new quizzes fill in the blank question?  Does that mean word you list will be counted correctly?

So I figured this out, the word bank just gives a list of words to select from below the question and you drag the correct word into the sentence.

Hi,  @browning339l ‌,

Thank you for submitting your question! And I'm glad you were able to find your answer! Here is a guide that could be further help to you: How do I answer each type of question in New Quizzes?

Happy quizzing!

Best,

Is there a limit to the amount of words possible?

Adding to your solution, this looks like it would be a really useful feature, but it only works for questions where the text is a single paragraph—if there's a list of sentences that need to be on separate lines, for instance (which is a common type of test section on language quizzes), there's no way to make good use of this feature. I hope we get a rich content editor or the ability to do line breaks with the new fill-in-the-blanks questions sometime in the near future, because that's what's preventing me from using this, and I'd really like to be able to.

I agree with urbansk6. The ability to have line breaks in Fill in the Blank questions in New Quizzes would be on my wish list. Though a RCE exists in the "upper portion" of the Fill in the Blank Questions, it is not available in the "lower portion". I found a workaround in this limitation, but it'd be great if a RCE existed all the way around.

I agree. The need is for the ability to fill in more than one blank, preferably choosing from a single group of answers to prevent giving a duplicate answer.  I think I will work around it for now by either using the fill-in-the-blank option and giving them a list of choices and instructions not to reuse answers or using the drop-downs with identical lists and instructions not to choose the same answer twice. That should be obvious but...
