Extra Options as Distractors in JCloze drop-down

Posted by Stan Bogdanov on 27 April 2008 - 21:01

Introduction

You are creating your drop-down Cloze and you want more/extra options as distractors. For example, you have three, but you want five options in the drop-down menu. See the drop-down menu in this demo.

JCloze doesn't offer this functionality. It turns each gap in a drop-down option. Therefore, you can't have extra options. See the screenshot below.

Step 1

Here's a trick with a little Copy-Pasting. Create your drop-down cloze exercise as usual in JCloze and open the .htm file in a text or HTML Editor. Find this code (yours will not look exactly the same)

Step 2

Now add as many more distractors as you need. (Replace 'Extra option 1' and 'Distractor 2' with your own.)
Repeat this for each set of options that you find. (Make sure all this code runs as a single line!)
That's it. Save the file and view the result. The extra options/distractors appear in the drop-down menu. They will be selectable and the scoring system will work ok.
