An open question is one of the most used question types within Ans. For an open question, there is an option to limit the amount of words a student can use in their answer. There is also an option to work with predefined answers. A predefined answer is shown to all students when they begin with the question. Both students and teachers can make use of the rich content editor. Students have access to one additional functionality, which is the webcam photo. This allows students to take a photo using their webcam which can be embedded in their answer. This can be used for question types where a handwritten answer is preferred. The amount of words and characters that the student has submitted will also be shown.
Open questions will need to be graded manually. To support you in doing this, you can make use of criteria, rubrics or sliders.
