Fill in the gaps question creation for mere mortals Marcus Green

I
Ireland & UK Moodlemoot 2012

The document discusses different types of fill-in-the-blank question formats that can be used in Moodle, including cloze questions, gapfill questions, drag-and-drop questions, and dropdown questions. It provides details on how to implement these question types, such as using brackets to indicate gaps, shuffling clues for each attempt, and allowing typing or selections. The gapfill question type is presented as an alternative to cloze questions that is easier for both students and programmers.
