I am trying to create a fill in the blank question where the answer contains certain words. In other words, the user will type a free form answer and as long as the free form answer contains specific words, they'll get the answer correctly. Is that possible?
The standard fill-in-the-blank question lets you indicate more than 1 acceptable answer. But the user has to exactly enter one of those options for it to be scored as correct.
For manual scoring offline, you could use a short-answer or essay survey question. To have the response sent to the LMS, you'd also need to include a Survey Results slide. (But, obviously, manual scoring is a lot more work for someone. And it doesn't allow for giving immediate feedback to the learner.)
The setting to limit the number of times a course can be accessed can be found in your LMS. Try reaching out to your LMS provider to see if they have this option available in their environment.
You can also find some creative workarounds from the community on how they approached a similar design issue here:
Hello,
Is there a variable or dynamic text script in Storyline, that will make the learner's name appear on a course based on their LMS log in credentials?
There isn't a way to do this Storyline 360 since variables cannot directly access LMS information. If your LMS is passing the learner's name in the URL string, then this may be possible to do using Javascript. I'll leave your inquiry to the community to see if anyone has had any success with retrieving user information from an LMS to use with variables!

Storyline doesn't have that functionality.

Hello,
We are publishing a course to xAPI and wondering if there is a way to prevent a user from taking the course multiple times
Thanks,

Ramona,
There is a sample that does what you are asking for at this thread:

You could probably adapt a fill in the blank question to use the JavaScript.
Any questions, just ask.
