Short Text Item

From the Text Entry section, the short text item type allows students to type a brief answer into a text box.
Click the box or green plus icon.
There are two sections.
Question and Response.
On the top right, select English or Spanish.
Click here to add a protractor or a ruler to the item.
Use the editing tools provided to format.
Make sure to use this first icon to paste in plain text when copying from another source.
For demo purposes, we are starting with everything already entered in.
After entering the question in the top box, type the Correct Value under the Response section.
Use the 'Input Type' drop-down to select if the answer is text or numeric.
Click the settings icon to enter an input width.
The input width controls the size of the Text Box.
The range is 60 to 400 pixels wide.
The Character limit controls how much a student can type in the box.
For example, if you are looking for a number that has three digits, you can make the character limit 3 or more.
Mark if it's case sensitive or not.
If selected, a student would get the answer wrong if they did not use the proper form.
Add up to 20 alternate correct responses, making it easier to account for variations in student answers.
This is optional.
Click Save on the top when finished.
A pop-up appears allowing you to select standards.
Select the Content Area, adopted year and select the primary course and Student Expectation.
You also have the option to dual code.
Click save.
From this screen, use the icons to make edits to the question, or details on the right.
Use this icon to test how the item reads for text-to-speech.
To add 'Related content', click the Add icon.
Related content, such as reading passages, Maps, and Charts, can be attached to more than one assessment item.
This makes tests easier to organize.
You can also assign keywords to items making them easier to search for in the future.
Click the add icon and put each new keyword or phrase on a new line.
