How to add a 'fill in the gaps' question

A ‘fill in the gaps’ question allows learners to complete the activity by adding correct missing words in a sentence. In DrivEd LMS, there are two options for this activity type: a text answer (a learner will need to type in the missing words or phrases) and a drag & drop answer (a learner will need to drag and drop the missing words or phrases from provided options). Follow this step-by-step tutorial to learn how to add such questions in a few simple steps.

  1. Go to the quiz/exam you need.
  2. Click on ‘Add question’.
  3. In a pop-up window, go to the ‘Fill in the gaps’ section and choose the question option you need.
