Enter Text in Know It? Mode

As you proceed through the steps in Know It? mode, you may encounter a step where you are prompted to type text. Typing the same text as displayed in the example scores the step as correct and automatically advances you to the next step. If the step does not advance, you have two choices. If you incorrectly typed the text, you can edit the text or delete your entry and type it again. If, however, you typed a different entry that you feel is also correct, you can click the Typing Complete button to submit the response.

Depending on how the assessment step was constructed when the content was created, some text entry steps score any response as correct, while others score only the example text as correct. If blanks are allowed, you can click the Typing Complete button without entering a value.

Note: The text required for a text entry step may or may not be case dependent. If the step does not automatically advance after you enter the example text, check to see if your entry matches the case of the example.

The following table shows how each input prompt is scored.
