The Short Answer format lets teachers test students’ knowledge of a concept from the course. Students must answer using a single word.

Go to your course and click Create a question (or Create my first question if you haven’t created any yet). Then select the Short Answer question type under Questions.

You can import questions from a file or from Wooclap, among other options. This way, you don’t need to recreate all your questions from scratch.

Once your Short Answer question is created, you can start by writing your question (1). Then enter the possible correct answers (2). You can add several answers to account for synonyms or different spellings of a word.

Finally, you can add optional feedback or additional explanations that will appear once learners have answered the question (3).

You can format your text or insert audio, an image, or a video using the formatting bar that appears when you click in a field.

Under Options, you will see four additional settings for your question:

Learners will need to answer the question with one or more words. After entering their answer, they can click Answer. Learners will then see the correct answer displayed, along with any feedback you’ve provided.
