This template is one of the most versatile and useful. You can use it to create a variety of exercises.
Type in a text and use brackets [] to create a gap.
Here's what you can do for each gap:
Leave the brackets empty if you don't need automatic answer checking. Students can fill in the gaps with any text, and you can check it manually.
Type [a word or phrase] inside the brackets for automatic answer checking. This word or phrase will be the correct answer. Students will have three attempts to enter it in the gap. If all three attempts fail, the correct answer will appear in the gap.
You can provide a hint for students to see within the gap. Use the forward slash '/' to separate the hint from the answer: [hint/answer]. For example: "They're [play/playing] basketball" - in this example, "play" is the hint, and "playing" is the correct answer that students must enter.
If there is more than one correct answer, separate them by forward slashes "/": [hint/answer 1/answer 2/etc.]. For example: "I'm [visit/visiting/going to visit] my parents tomorrow" - in this case, both "visiting" and "going to visit" will be considered correct answers by the automatic checking.
If you don't need a hint but require multiple correct options, start with a forward slash /: [/answer 1/answer 2/etc.]. For example: "The US Independence Day is celebrated on [/July 4/the fourth of July]" - in this case, both "July 4" and "’the fourth of July" will be autochecked as correct answers, but the student will not see a hint.
Pro tip:
Use this template if you want your students to provide short open answers. Type a question and add a gap.
