Word count limit in written response quiz questions

Geraint.H.4371

I would like to limit the word count in written response questions. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Geraint,

This is a great question. Thanks for bringing it to the Brightspace Community!

So, as of right now there is no way to specify a hard limit in a written response. However, there is a useful workaround. What I might suggest is to follow the instructions in this article to set up a visible word count on the assignment/discussion you would like, and then specify to student via an announcement, rubric, syllabus, that there is a max word allowance of "x"

Here's the article: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/2825-assessing-discussion-threads

I hope this helps, you can also head over to the product idea exchange and submit that as an idea / upvote an existing similar idea (found under "resources" at the top of the community homepage).

Cheers,

Owen
