Essay knowledge test question
An essay question is an open-ended question where learners enter their answers in a text field. This type of question is particularly suitable for assessing complex relationships or the actual understanding of learning content. The answers must then be assessed by the author, which enables an individual and in-depth evaluation. For practice purposes, self-assessment by the learners can also be performed.
