Fill in blanks

- As a blank space which has to be filled. These spaces can be initially filled with a variable number of dashes, asterisks, blank spaces, or any other character.

- With an initial expression that the student has to correct.

- As a drop list of options from which one has to be chosen.

In this setting the targets can also have an associated floating help window which can contain a message, sound, image, animation, or any type of multimedia material. These help windows can be activated in three different moments:

a) Automatically, on entering the space.

b) When a wrong answer is written.

c) By pressing F1.

A delay and a maximum time of appearance can also be set.

The evaluation of fill in blanks activities can be immediate or deferred, and in both cases Clic can be made to try to detect which letters or words are wrong and show them by a change in colour. There is also, however, the possibility of just saying whether the answer is correct or not without giving any clues as to where the error may be.

In this type of activity it is recommended to always press the return key (or the forward arrow) after writing the answer in each of the spaces. That way Clic knows you have finished writing and can go on to evaluate the answer.
