How to set up a fill-the-gap question in JumpLMS

Fill-the-gap questions ask Learners to complete a sentence or phrase by typing the missing answer.

You can allow multiple acceptable answers, which is useful when Learners may enter a valid response in slightly different ways.

Note: Fill-the-gap answers are not case sensitive.
