I would love quizzes with fill-in-the-blanks
Gunilla Erika
It's crucial for language students to listen and see if they understand what is said, so I would love, love, love the oportunity to have quizzes where I add a short video of someone saying a word or a sentence and my students write it down, and then get the correct answer when clicking "next".
If you make that I am sure many more language teacher will choose New Zenler as their platform! <3

I agree. I now use other software for this but it looks ugly

And if you read this. I would also really, really want to know, if you see this as a possible thing in the future. I can see that other teachers also would love this. But if you are not going to add this feature, I would like to know now, and look for another platform. Or if you know it is going to be easy for you to create this, I would love to know that too. And in that case how long it can take before it will happen. My students really need this feature. <3

Hi Rakeesh,
How is going with this request?
Rakesh Vallil
Gunilla Erika: No updates yet, probably later after we complete the branching feature that we are working in quiz/surveys now
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil I used the old surveys for my dictation, and in the old version I was able to write the correct answer to the dictation so that the student was able to see the correct answer after they submitted their word/sentence. In the new survey version that possibility is gone. Now my course looks strange as sometimes there is the old survey and sometimes there is the new one.
If you add the feature " feedback" just like in the quizzes, it would solve the problem, until you create a real "fill-in-the-blanks"-option in the quiz, please.

Gunilla Erika new surveys has the free text option, can you explain with a loom pls?
btw you would need to migrate to new survey as we will be decommissioning old surveys at some point
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil Thank you so much for letting me know! Here is a video. Just ask if it's unclear! https://youtu.be/wtGo9SBA3e8

Gunilla Erika ok got it. it makes sense to have this is for quizzes not sure about surveys as there is no answer
checking in survey
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil In the old survey there was a "Thank you" feedback that I was allowed to replace with the text I wanted. That worked for me (to give the students the correct answer) Now that possibility is gone.
The other alternative is to add the option "free text" in the quiz. If you can do it soon it would be great. If you will erase the old surveys I have to move all my old surveys to the new survey version and then move everything again to quiz, whether ypu decide to put a feedback box in surveys or not. (I have a lot of surveys so I would really love to know your plans, as soon as you know what you will do.?
But the best would still be to
create a real autocorrected fill-in-the-blanks option, which I really hope you will do soon.❤️
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil I really hope that you will make a "free text" option in quizzes, with a possibility for the teacher to write an answer that is possible for the student to read at the same time as they read their own answer, so that they can compare their answer with the correct one. The feedback box now shows up over their own answer and it also is impossible to read the feedback in the app on the phone (See image)
Please fix this before you take away the old survey. Otherwise you destroy my course. Thank you so much for making everything better all the time!

Rakesh Vallil How is it going? Can we see a fill-in-the blanks quiz option in the near future? I don't want to leave Zenler, if you plan to make it happen soon, but if it will take more than 6 months I would like to know.
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil How is it going with making a "free-text" option in the quiz?
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil Hope you have had a great summer! Are there any plans of making a fill-in-the blanks option in quizzes? I hope it will come before you take the old surveys away...
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil Will you be able to make fill-in-the-blanks option in quizzes before you decommission old surveys?
Fill-in-the-blanks will be an immense upgrade for the students who wants to learn through courses on Zenler.
If it's too hard for you to create that, I would really, really need to know that, so I can start look for some other option.
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil I got an answer from Zenler support that you are looking into this matter now, and it made me so incredibly happy. This will make Zenler sooo much better! And if you need someone to have a look at it before you release it I am so willing to help you! <3
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil Have you thought more of putting a free-text option in quizzes, or putting a feedback box in surveys?
Gunilla Erika
Rakesh Vallil Any updates yet? I would love to get time to change my old surveys (as soon as you have added a feedback box into the new surveys) before you take the old surveys away. Please let me know what the timeline look like. Do you have any idea?
Gunilla Erika
Hi Rakesh! I was told on the Zenler Facebook page that this feature is soon done. I am so happy about this! Do you think it will be ready this year? Do you need any help trying it out?
