What are fill in the blanks questions?
Fill in the blanks questions allow the test takers to type in words or sentences to answer a question. Unlike free text questions, with the fill in the blanks question type, it’s possible for the system to identify the correct answer, making the whole process of grading the exam automated.
How to write good fill in the blanks questions?
Basically, make sure to write a simple answer, so the students have a greater chance of getting it right. And you can determine a percentage of 'deviation' for the answer you wrote, like typos, spelling or writing mistakes and things like that.
