Short Answer Question

Hi,

Wondering if there is any way where we can input an open-ended questions like a short answer question so as during auto-grading, the software can just detect certain keywords, if there is, i will certainly consider to purchase this software.

Hallo Ocean

Thank you for your interest in our product.

You can use a "fill in the blank" question type and input different variations of the possible answer for automatic grading of the question. Our online manual will give you a bit more detail:

It is not currently possible to alter the length of the answer field, though you can input more than is visible at once.

Another alternative is to use an essay type question where the user can input a much longer answer - but there is no automatic marking. The results will not include a mark for this question and you would have to manually add it later. For more information see:

I hope that this answer helps you but do not hesitate to contact us if you have more questions.
