Allow fill-in-the-blank answers that can *contain* a term vs having to match a term
| This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas |
Allow the option for a fill-in-the-blank answer to *contain* a specified term/word instead of having to match a word exactly. This would cut down on the instructor having to think of all the possible variations/mis-spellings of a certain term that might occur. Sometimes just setting part of the term for an acceptable answer covers a lot of acceptable submissions.
Additionally, and perhaps a separate issue, it would be nice to be able to set a character limit on what students can type in for their fill in the blank answer (i.e. it would be nice to limit them to writing a word instead, sometimes students are compelled to write sentences).

This idea was completed with general availability of Quizzes.Next. You can find more information about the overall project in the Quizzes.Next User Group.
- Quizzes.Next is now available for all paid accounts.
- Quizzes.Next documentation will live in the Quizzes.Next User Group until July 14, 2018. On July 14, 2018, all of the documentation will be moved to the Canvas Guides in the Canvas Instructor Guide or Canvas Student Guide.
- Quizzes.Next updates will be included in the Canvas Release Notes. This includes new features, updated features, and relevant fixed bugs. New and updated features will be deployed to Quizzes.Next near the same time as the Canvas release. Fixed bugs may be deployed at any time.
