An interface that integrates with Moodle's existing HTML editor (HTMLArea in 1.9 and TinyMCE in 2.x) to support teachers in creating Cloze (Embedded answers) questions in the GIFT syntax.

Download

You can download specific versions for Moodle 1.9, 2.0, 2.1 and for 2.4 up to 2.7 from Google code.

Overview

The integration (PHP/javascript) is essentially a new button in the HTML editor which brings up an interface that helps create CLOZE questions in the correct syntax. It will also read and edit existing CLOZE items (which you have selected with your cursor).

Here's a demonstrator (which can also be used to create your own CLOZE quizzes):
