hot pepper
Pupil's correct answer and how it is replacing the gap.
When hot pepper fills a gap with the pupil's correct answer ...
  • If the gap is a plain gap, the answer just replaces the gap, no matter how small or large it may be
  • If the gap is a special gap,
    • If the answer has fewer letters than the length of the special gap, extra spaces, are added at the end of the answer, to reach the length of the special gap and then replaces it
    • But if it has more, the whole answer replaces (the smaller) special gap
In any case, the pupil's correct answer, will appear intact.
Attention! The number of individual bars in a special gap, can be used as a hint to the pupil, for how many letters has the answer. But it is not obligatory for the correct answer, to have so many letters.
In a Gap Filling group of questions, the gaps are answered one by one in an order from top to bottom. If the pupil wants to answer another gap, he can choose it by clicking on it.

B. Gap design

Write the whole text inserting gaps where you want. There are 2 kinds of gaps
  • Plain gaps. They are displayed to the pupil as a compact gap.
  • Special gaps. They are displayed to the pupil as distinct blocks, hinting the number of characters missing. You can put as many special gaps, as you want, one after the other. They all together compose a whole special gap.
When finish, press OK

During formatting, pay close attention to the red tip (bottom left)

D. 2nd Gap Details

In this particular gap, we desided to use Multiple choice (text) question.
We will use the names of 4 countries.
The correct country (Austria) will be used to fill the gap.
  1. Instead of Write an answer write Austria
  2. Be sure to check the Correct radio button
  3. Add a new answer (Germany) and repeat steps 1 and 2 until all 4 countries will be inserted.

E. 3rd Gap Details

Please, work as in the previous gap
hot pepper

F. 4th Gap Details

In this particular gap, we desided to force the pupil to write the answer, allowing him to make some grammatical mistakes.
His answer will be used to fill the gap.
  1. In Pupil's reaction combobox, select Misspelled typing. Forgives confusion with double consonants
  2. Instead of Write an answer type Secession
  3. Add a new answer (Sezession) (the same word written in german language). Then add 2 more variations of this artistic movement. I think that these 4 variations will cover any possible answer regarding this movement.
Because the teacher allows some grammatical mistakes, the answer secesion is equally accepted.
