The candidate drags words or pictures from a bank into gaps in a passage.

Answering

The candidate drags a word from the bank into a gap; a word dropped on a filled gap takes its place. A word can be used as many times as its match-max allows. Once used up, it leaves the bank until a placed copy is removed. A placed word can be dragged to another gap.

qti-choices-top, -bottom, -left or -right put the bank around the passage, and the qti-input-width-* classes on a gap set its width.

Scoring

The response is a set of pairs, each a word and its gap. Score it by Exact match on every pair, or Mapped, with points for each right pair.

In the editor

Insert adds one with a few words and gaps, and the Inline menu adds more gaps to its text. The correct answer is a grid in the properties panel: tick the word that belongs in each gap.
