Text entry blocks

Text entry blocks are blocks that allow your learners to type responses to questions in a text box.

Text entry blocks cannot be used in assessment sections and only generic feedback can be provided to learner responses.

Set feedback for text entry responses

1. Navigate to the editor view of your text entry block.
