Create: Grid-In Question

Grid-In questions are similar to Cloze questions. For each double underscore that is input into the question field, a drop-down appears in the "answer choices" section, and for each answer choice, you are able to select Numeric, Decimal, or Alpha drop-down choices. When a student is answering a grid-in question, they will select an answer choice from the provided drop-down field(s). This topic describes how to create a Grid-In question.
