Create or edit the activity/resource you want to have in a colored table.

Click the show more buttons button.

IF YOU ARE EDITING AN EXISTING TABLE click anywhere inside the table.

OR

IF YOU WANT TO CREATE A NEW TABLE click the location you would like your table.

Click the Edit Table button. 

IF YOU ARE EDITING AN EXISTING TABLE select the Edit Table option from the bottom of the drop-down.

Choose a Borders value to indicate if you want:

• Theme Default: to let your course’s theme decide. (You will NOT get to choose any further options except for background color and a width of the table.)
• Around Table: a single border around your entire table.
• Around Each Cell: a border for each cell of your table.

IF YOU SELECTED Around Table or Around Each Cell you can set the following:

• Style of Borders:
   Solid  Dashed  Dotted 

• Size of Borders (You can choose any size, but here are some common examples.)
  • 1px  solid   dashed   dotted 
  • 2px  solid   dashed   dotted 
  • 3px  solid   dashed   dotted 
  • 5px  solid   dashed   dotted 

• Border Color:
  transparent (default)white    red    yellow    green   blue   dark grey  

REGARDLESS OF YOUR CHOICE you can also set the following:

• Background color:
   transparent (default)  white    red    yellow    green   blue   dark grey  

• Table width (in %): Any value between 0 and 100
  • If left blank the table will take up as little horizontal space as possible and will NOT resize depending on screen size.
     left blank   
  • 50 (%) will take up exactly half of the screen and will resize if you resize your window (for example).
     set to 50%  
  • We generally suggest 90 to 99 % to ensure your table spans close to the entire space and allows the most space possible for your content without going off the sides.
     set to 95%  

Click the Create table or Update table button to preview your changes.

Review your table and edit it as needed.

Save your changes to the activity or resource when done.

Enter the quiz where you want the new question to appear.

OR

Enter the category of your Question bank where you wish to add this question and click the Add new Question button.

Select the missing words question type from the left column—it’ll be listed near the bottom, so you MAY have to scroll down to see it.

Click the Add button to proceed.

Expand the General section if it isn’t already open.

Enter a Question name to identify the question (only you as a teacher will see this).

Enter some Question text. Replace the word you want students to pick from with [[1]].

• For example: If you want students to answer “Mostly, leaves tend to be GREEN in color.” the question would read: “Mostly, leaves tend to be [[1]] in color.“

Set a Default mark value. The default value is 1; but if this is a particularly challenging or valuable question, you can increase its value to ensure it has greater weight than other, less important or easier questions.

Provide any General feedback you can to help students understand this question and why the answer is what it is.

Expand the Choices section if it isn’t already open.

Check the Shuffle option.

Ensure that your correct answer is provided for Choice 1 and the group is set to 1 (noted in blue for the example image). This is to match your [[1]] in the question text.
You may only have a SINGLE correct answer. 

• For our example Choice 1 and the CORRECT answer would be “green” and the group would be set to 1

Enter any incorrect or distraction responses in Choice 2 and onward (noted in bright orange for the example image). Also ensure the Group is set to 1. 
If you need room for more incorrect or distraction responses, you can click the Blanks for 3 more choices button. 

• For our example the INCORRECT options/distractions would be set to: 
  • Choice 2 would be “red” and the group would be set to 1.
  • Choice 3 would be “purple” and the group would be set to 1.
  • Choice 4 would be “cyan” and the group would be set to 1.

All other sections are optional and you may modify them if you wish.

When done, click the Save Changes button.

When done, preview  your question to ensure it works the way you expect it to.

Try both correct and incorrect responses to your question to ensure you get the desired results.

1. Select an answer/response from the Choose drop-down menu.
2. Click the Submit and Finish button. 
3. Confirm things work as expected. (Correct answers are marked as correct, incorrect answers are not.)
4. Repeat the process for other responses by clicking Start again button

Expand the General section if it isn’t already open.

Enter a Question name to identify the question (only you as a teacher will see this).

Enter some Question text. Replace the first word you want students to pick with [[1]]. The second replace instance should be [[2]] and so on for as many options as you want.

• For example, if you want students to answer “Mostly, leaves tend to be GREEN in color. The best animals are CATS” the question would read: “Mostly, leaves tend to be [[1]] in color. The best animals are [[2]]“

Set a Default mark value. The default value is 1; but if this is a particularly challenging or valuable question, you can increase its value to ensure it has greater weight than other, less important or easier questions.

Provide any General feedback you can to help students understand this question and why the answer is what it is.

Expand the Choices section if it isn’t already open.

Check the Shuffle option.

Ensure that your correct answers are provided first and that the assigned group matches the value above for the contents of each [[number]] you are replacing (noted in blue for the example image).

• The first replace’s correct answer should be in Choice 1 and the group is set to 1. This group is to match your [[1]] in the question text.
• The second replace’s correct answer should be next in Choice 2 with the group set to 2. This group is to match your [[2]] in the question text.

Each part may only have a SINGLE correct answer and the group should be assigned to match the assigned [[number]] in the question text.

• For our example, CORRECT answers for each part come first:
  • Choice 1 option would be “green” (answer to replace [[1]] ) and the group would be set to 1
  • Choice 2 option would be “cats” (answer to replace [[2]] ) and the group would be set to 2

Enter any incorrect or distraction responses in the following Choice 2 and onward (noted in bright orange for the example image).
While the order of INCORRECT options is NOT important, the assigned group IS… so make sure the group matches the [[number]] in your question text.
If you need room for more incorrect or distraction responses you can click the Blanks for 3 more choices button. 

• For our example the INCORRECT options/distractions would be set to: 
  • Part 1: [[1]] (highlighted in light orange in the example image)
    • Choice 3 would be “red” and the group would be set to 1
    • Choice 4 would be “purple” and the group would be set to 1
    • Choice 5 would be “cyan” and the group would be set to 1
  • Part 2: [[2]] (highlighted in dark orange in the example image)
    • Choice 6 would be “dogs” and the group would be set to 2
    • Choice 7 would be “finches” and the group would be set to 2
    • Choice 8 would be “fish” and the group would be set to 2

All other sections are optional and you may modify them if you wish.

When done, click the Save Changes button.

When done, preview  your question to ensure it works the way you expect it to.

Try both correct and incorrect responses to your question to ensure you get the desired results. (Again, multiple drop-downs don’t lead to clear feedback, so break up a question with multiple parts into multiple questions if you can!)

1. Select an answer/response from the Choose drop-down menu.
   ENSURE that the intended options are listed under the intended drop-down (for example, I don’t want colors and animals mixed). If they are mixed, then you didn’t order things correctly under choices. Edit the question to comply with my above notes or contact a Moodle admin for assistant (online@clackamas.edu).
2. Click the Submit and Finish button. 
3. Confirm things work as expected. (Correct answers are marked as correct, incorrect answers are not.)
4. Repeat the process for other responses by clicking the Start again button.
