Creation of new activities

As part of the new interactive content we are working on, we are happy to announce a frequently requested update that we hope will contribute to improve the user experience.

We present two of the new activities that we will be adding to the contents that we can create for the learners who take the courses: Fill in gaps and Mark words.

FILL IN GAPS:

In this activity, the learner will be able to fill in the gaps with the corresponding words, either to complete a sentence or to list a series of items.

You will have a statement to give them indications if needed and different options that are also offered in other types of exercises, such as limiting the number of attempts, hiding the solution or restricting the time to complete it. If spelling mistakes in accentuation are ignored, capitalization and accents will be omitted as failures.

This activity allows two ways of doing it: writing the word or dragging it from a series of available answers.

Here is an example of this type of activity:

Statements

They must be surrounded by a double asterisk **. There can be more than one.

Correct answers

They must be surrounded by double brackets [[ ]].

This is what the learners will see on their campus:

If the drag-and-drop format is selected, it will only be necessary to drag the answer to the corresponding slot:

MARK WORDS:

In this activity, the learner will be able to mark words indicated in the statement. It can be used to evaluate spelling, verb tenses, languages, specific types of words and a multitude of other exercises that involve marking one or more of the words listed.

Statements

Must be surrounded by a double asterisk **. There can be more than one statement.

Correct selectable answers

Must be surrounded by double brackets [[ ]].

Incorrect selectable answers

The rest of the words that we include in the content of the activity will be selectable as incorrect.

Only if they consist of more than one word, have spaces, numbers or special characters, they must be surrounded by double brackets (( )). Example: ((I am an answer with spaces)), ((11/07/2022))

Here is an example:

This will be displayed on the learner's campus:

In both exercises you will be able to decide the grading system, i.e. how much the correct, failed and unanswered questions score.

We hope that these activities will help you to create more dynamic and enjoyable courses when evaluating your learners! We will keep you informed of the next updates!
