Cloze
Reading time: 1minEmbedded answers, or Cloze, allow inserting different question types within a single question. For example:
In this example, there is a short answer and a multiple-choice question.
Detailed information on Cloze questions can be found at Moodle docs as the WirisQuizzes type follows the exact same format, with the following exceptions:
- There is no "Numerical" subtype because none is needed.
- Variables can be used, but the pound symbol "#" has to be escaped with a backslash (e.g. "\#a" instead of the usual "#a").
The previous question, for example, could be made with the following text:
and in the Define random variables and functions section:
Students can still write formulas in their answer using the editor popup by clicking the square root icon in the answer blank
for embedded short answer types. To enable this, select Math editor in a popup in the Input options section:
Furthermore, we can observe that the question algorithm ensures the polynomial will have no roots, so the question is not entirely random.
If we want to consider three answer options, we must change the answer format to include the new variables.
Variables preceded by = will be taken as correct answers, and those preceded by ~ as incorrect ones. The algorithm for the question should be defined using CalcMe like this:
Shuffled answers
By default, multichoice questions in WirisQuizzes Cloze question type are not shuffled. Instead, there are shuffled multichoice types to accomplish this. These are:
| Unshuffled | Shuffled | |
|---|---|---|
| Drop-down | MC | MCS |
| Horizontal | MCH | MCHS |
| Vertical | MCV | MCVS |
For example, if we replace the "MC" above with "MCHS", the question will look like this:
And the multiple choice will be in random order each time.
Remarks
- Variables can be used in the answer in feedback fields (and only these).
- In the short answer type ("SA") each answer must be a variable or text, it cannot be a combination of both.
- If a variable is written as a formula, it will be converted to text inside a multichoice option (i.e. 2^(1/2) instead of 2).
- Settings in the Validation options section are common for all questions.
