New Quizzes: Allow Rich Content editing for fill in the blank

[bnepal]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

---

Fill in the blank only allows word answer. If my students needs to enter (2sin(x)cos(x)) or something from calculus it gets confusing. If students as well as teachers are allowed to use Rich Content Editing in simple fill in the blank. I believe it will make it easier for all the chemistry and math teacher because it will enable latex typing.

For Example: This is hard to input:

Inputting: (sin(3x))/((x-3)(x+3))-((3sin(x)cos^2(x)-sin^3(x))/(x^2-9)) can be very tricky and can be easily mistaken. Therefor if rich content editing(LaTex system) were to be allowed students can easily type

instead of (sin(3x))/((x-3)(x+3))-((3sin(x)cos^2(x)-sin^3(x))/(x^2-9))

It appears that the tables in the Fill-in-blank questions in the Classic Quizzes are not preserved after migrating to the New Quizzes.

In the Classic Quizzes:

In the New Quizzes:

This is not good~

Is there any way to preserve the Rich Text format?

I would like this to be a revisited feature. Where would I upvote this idea?

Absolutely essential! New Quizzes just feels buggy without the option of simple formatting in this context

In Classic Quizzes I relied on fill-in-the-blank questions with multiple blanks. I like the ability to use different answer types (drop-down, typing, etc.), and to organize the questions like paragraphs (useful for translation type questions) or tables (useful for all those verb forms).

Please add a text editor to the fill-in-the-blank question in New Quizzes that will be as functional as it is in the Classic Quizzes.

i am trying to create a "Fill in the blank" question and really need the RICH CONTENT EDITOR to enter in math symbols.  WOULD  be great to access that to not only create the possible answers but for the students to use as well when answering.

[townsendb1]

Yes, being able to access the Rich Content Editor would be an extremely useful feature when creating certain questions(for teachers) and typing in answers(for students).

Is this even being looked at?  Does anyone know if this is being addressed?  This seems so basic for the STEM fields...making it an easy way for students to show their thoughts and work.  Is the voting open- where does this stand?

I have used New Quizzes enough to know that there are some advantages to using New Quizzes over Classic quizzes. However, I teach middle school math and am very disappointed that I am unable to do very simple things with New Quizzes. 

Here is a classic math problem that I am able to set up for my students in Classic Quizzes: 

In New Quizzes the same question looks like: 

Having students complete tables in math and science is a very common type of question. Why is this not available to do in New Quizzes? 

We need a rich content editor in fill in the blank questions in New Quizzes also a.s.a.p.

We need the ability to write math words/symbols in fill in the blank questions....like less than or equal to on a dropdown answer spot.

It would be helpful for teachers to be able to use the MathQuill feature within the fill in the blank answer options such as this.
