1. In the Questions screen, from the Add Question drop-down menu, select Fill in the Blank.
2. In the "Answer Point Value" field, enter the point value you want to assign to this question. Enter 0 (zero) for an ungraded question.
   
   Note: The total points you assign will be divided among all the blanks in the question. For example, take the following question:
   
   Polonius advises Laertes: "Neither a {borrower} nor a {lender} be".
   
   If you assign 10 points to this question, students will get 5 points each for filling in "borrower" and "lender".
3. In the "Question Text" field, enter the text for the question. Click Show/Hide Rich-Text Editor to display the WYSIWYG toolbar. Place curly braces ( { } ) around words requiring a blank, for example: In Unix, to find the current directory path, type {pwd} at the prompt.Other options for building a Fill in the Blank question include:
   • Wildcards: Use an asterisk ( * ) to represent one or more characters in a response. For example: An adverb, like {*ly}, modifies a verb.
   • Either|Or: If two or more specific answers could belong in a blank, you can use a pipe ( | ) to separate them. For example: {red|yellow|blue} is the primary color I like best.
   • Case sensitivity: Check Case sensitive if case matters in the response. For example: The capital of California is {Sacramento}.
   • Mutual exclusivity: Check Mutually exclusive if your question has two or more blanks with identical answer choices, but the student must answer each one differently. For example: When you toss a coin, it lands on {heads|tails} or {heads|tails}.If the answers are mutually exclusive, the student must type "heads" in one blank and "tails" in the other to answer the question correctly. If the answers were not mutually exclusive, then typing "heads" in both blanks would be considered correct.
     You can use the mutually exclusive option only when it applies to all the blanks in a question. For example, take the following question:
     
     We mixed {red|blue} and {red|blue} dye together to make {purple}.If you select the mutually exclusive option for the above question, it will automatically uncheck itself when you save your question.
