Additional options

assessmentQ provides a few more possibilities when you create a fill gaps in text item:

• Add wrong answer(s).
  
• Indicate whether an empty answer is correct (by default it is wrong). You can also override the default score for correct answers only for this empty answer, and add answer-specific feedback.
  
• Input mask: Make sure the candidate can only type a restricted sort of characters.
  

  Note: for more information on input masks, read this article.

• Fixed characters: Determine if characters can already be visible in the gap by selecting the number of fixed characters.
• Pre-filled text: Determine if the gap should already contain text by adding content in the pre-filled text.
• Correction options: Determine if the automatic correction needs to take into account several extras:
  • Punctuation (.,?!...)
  • Diacritics (à, ç, ù, ü, û, è,...)
  • Capital letters
  • Whitespaces
