The Fill-in-the-blanks template lets learners complete sentences by choosing an answer from a drop-down or typing their own answer. Learners get correct or incorrect feedback once they submit.
Setting it up
You add the text and blanks directly in the preview on the right. Then you set up the answers and options for each blank in the panel on the left.
In the left panel
Once you have added a blank in the preview, you add and edit its answers or options here. The blanks are grouped per paragraph.
Paragraph
Each paragraph shows the settings for the blanks it contains.
Click the trash icon to delete a paragraph.
Open question
A blank where learners type their own answer.
Under Correct answers, fill in an Answer that counts as correct.
Click the + to add more answers that count as correct.
Case sensitive (checkbox)
Tick this box if the capital letters in the learner's answer must match the correct answer.
MPC question
A blank where learners choose an answer from a drop-down.
Under Multiple choice options, fill in each Option and tick Is correct for the right answer.
Click the + to add an option, the trash icon to delete one, and the arrows to change their order.
In the preview
The image, heading and text are edited directly in the preview. This is also where you add the text blocks and blanks.
Switch between views
Three buttons above the preview decide what you are editing:
?: the question, with the text and blanks
✓: the feedback after a correct answer
✗: the feedback after an incorrect answer
Add text and blanks
Hover over a dashed line and click the +.
Choose Text, MPC or Open question.
For an MPC or open question, add the options or correct answers in the left panel.
Select a block and use the arrow up or arrow down button on its left to move it, or the red trash button to delete it.
Feedback
In the ✓ and ✗ views, add a title and a text for the feedback.
The feedback is shown below the sentence, together with the learner's answers.
✏️ Tip
If you don't need different explanations, you can use the same feedback text for both correct and incorrect answers.
Why use fill-in-the-blanks?
Knowledge checks during or after learning content
Language learning and terminology practice
Step-by-step process validation
Short assessments without breaking the learning flow
It works especially well when learners need to actively recall information instead of just recognising it.
