About Text Input Problem#
The text input problem type is a simple problem type that can be added to any course. At a minimum, text input problems include a question or prompt and a response field for free form answer text. By adding hints, feedback, or both, you can give learners guidance and help when they work on a problem.
For more information about the simple problem types, see Working with Problem Components.
Overview#
In text input problems, learners enter text into a response field. The response can include numbers, letters, and special characters such as punctuation marks. Because the text that the learner enters must match the instructor’s specified answer exactly, including spelling and punctuation, it is recommend that you specify more than one correct answer for text input problems to allow for differences in capitalization and typographical errors.
Example Text Input Problem#
