Matching
There are two different types of assignment tasks, which differ slightly. Both are solved by drag' n' drop.
Matching single use
Each answer in the pool below can be placed for one possible answer only. Once an answer is placed it is no longer available in the pool. When all answers are allocated the answer pool will therefor be empty.
Matching reusable
The same option can be used several times, i. e. the same option can be placed in different gaps. In the pool the options remain, you fill in the gaps until all are occupied.
Gap-fill
The gaps can be filled with text. Corrections or solutions ca be displayed.
Sequence
Bring the terms or sentences into their right order.
Grammer
Grammar exercises have the follwing sub types:
Punctuation marks
Place selected punctuation mark after a word by clicking on the word . Additionally choose weather the mark has to be placed before, in the middle of a gap, after or within a word.
The same works not only with punctuation marks but also with whole words that can be inserted.
Uppercase/lowercase
Edit a text with only lower case letters. By clicking on a Word the inital letter will be changed to uppercase.
Marking
This type is very suitable for determining word types, for example. There can be several colours to choose from.
Image mapping
The screen contains different areas, which are highlighted when you click on them. The correct solution can consist of one or more marked areas.
Crossword
It's like a regular crossword on paper, only cooler. The cursor jumps automatically one field after the input and makes a simple filling possible.
