Correct quiz answers changing text for some states?
Also I have to give my standard warning to avoid using text entries for assessment.
1. They are slow.
2. Easy for the learner to make a mistake while clearly knowing the right answer.
3. Unless your course about language don't asses them on their ability to type and spell.
4. Text entries are exact character matches. Capitalization matters, alternative word choice is a problem.
5. Text entry is a pain for people now sitting down at a computer.
6. Text entries all require lots of variables to keep track of. This point right here is where we both can have issues.
7. The user has no idea why they get something wrong. If a human was grading they'd get feedback or tolerance. If you use a text entry please give immediate feedback for what the correct entry should be.
