Feedback to Short Answer Questions

Hello

I have a course which contains a number of Lessons.  For some of these i have Short Answer questions, prompting students to pick the correct answer from a (quite long) list and type it in.  I can easily provide feedback to the students if they get the correct answer, but i also wish to give feedback when they get it wrong, and i am having difficulties there.

I did find some help text around setting up "expected" wrong answers using ++(xxxxx|xxxxx|zzzzz)/i  but that did not seem to be working consistently for me, and now I cannot find that information on the help site when i went to double check.

Has anyone had a similar experiences, and better luck?

Thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

Could you clarify which version of Totara you are using, and also if you want to generate some kind of report based on actual answers or a hint if students put in the wrong answer?

cheers,

George.
