Celebrate Excellence in Education: Nominate Outstanding Educators by April 15!
In New Quizzes, when choosing Open Entry for Fill in the Blank questions, there are options for 'Contains' and 'Exact Match'. If I choose the 'Contains' option, put in the answer as "word", and then a student answers "Word", Canvas marks it wrong.
In my mind, case sensitivity should apply to the 'Exact Match' option, not the 'Contains' option. As long as they spell it correctly, it doesn't matter if the 'n' is capitalized.
Is there a different way to set these up? Or can this be a system-wide update in Canvas? If there wasn't an 'Exact Match' option, I could see the reason for this, but since there is, it seems silly to me that all the student responses in the question shown below were marked wrong because of capital letters when they do 'contain' the correct answer.
