In Mastery Connect, you can create a cloze association item. A cloze association item is a fill-in-the-blank (typically word-based) question that allows a student to drag and drop response options to blank response locations.
You can create any item type through the Item Editor. You can also use the Item Editor to add passages, add item-level tools, and save the item. To open and use the Item Editor, learn more about:
- Creating an item in your personal item bank
- Creating an item in the district item bank as an administrator
- Creating an item from within an assessment
