Fill in the Blank Questions

Overview

Fill in the Blank questions are a great way to assess recall and accuracy without providing answer choices. Unlike multiple-choice questions, they require learners to actively recall information, making them useful for:

• Fact-based challenges

• Technical term recall

• Spelling accuracy

Setting Up a Fill in the Blank Question

Step 1: Write Your Question

• Navigate to Main Menu > Lessons and select your Lesson, or create a new one.

• Drag and drop the Fill in the Blank Lesson Item into your Lesson.

• Structure the question sentence and indicate where the blank should be.

Step 2: Add Acceptable Answers

• Provide a list of correct answers (not case-sensitive).

• Include all possible variations that should be accepted.

Step 3: Configure Additional Settings

• Add optional media (image or audio) for context.

• Enable scoring (optional) and set the point value.

Scoring

• Participants receive points for submitting a correct answer from the accepted list.

• Best used when a multiple-choice format would make the answer too obvious.

Common Use Cases

• Fact-based recall questions

• Testing spelling accuracy of key terms

• Ensuring learners remember industry-specific vocabulary

• Reinforcing famous quotes or phrases
