How to Create a Fill in the Blanks Question

1. Select "Fill Blanks" as the response type
   
   
   
   
2. Specify the number of blanks you want to include in the question
   
   
3. Populate your question text, including [fill_blank] wherever you want the blank spaces to appear.
   
   NOTE: it is critical that the square brackets and the underscore between the words 'fill' and 'blank' are present in the question text. This formatting is what defines where the empty box will appear for a student to fill in the blank space.
   
   
4. Populate the correct answers for each blank. These should be populated in sequence, ie. the first place that [fill_blank] appears in the question text corresponds to the first correct fill blank answer
   

NOTE: The correct response is not case sensitive. If the correct answer is "Compressions" with a capital C then if a student were to provide the answer "compressions" with a lower case C, this would still be assessed as correct. So would "cOMpressions or COMPRESSIONS". If the correct answer is entered as a word (for example, "two"), the student must also respond with a written answer. A response of "2" would be incorrect.
