One way course designers can move past the simple multiple-choice type question is with text entry fields that let learners type in their responses and compare their answers to an expert’s recommendation.

Great activity thanks for sharing! I do have a question, is there an easy way to modify the language in this activity? I see that I can easily modify the text boxes but the tabs (objects) are not modifiable? I was wondering if there was an easier way to change the text in these tabs, other than re-constructing them.

Hi - This is a great idea and perfect for what I need... however I'm wondering how I could have several questions that work like this, one after the other. I have simply copied and pasted the two slides. However the learner's answer from the first question appears in all the subsequent questions. Can anyone help or give advice?

This is great. I'm looking to do something similar with large images of data. I want the learner to look at the picture and then type in the free text their observation. My challenge is that the graphic is too small to see the details and the "zoom" feature doesn't expand the graphic larger enough, so the graph/data is taking up the entire page, which I don't like visually. That doesn't leave room for free text. Is there a way to lightbox the free text? I need ideas.

Hi. Is there way to turn this into a graded question? I am working on a project where I want to use this interaction but also need to capture the learner's response for reporting.
