XBlock to capture a free-text response.

This package provides an XBlock for use with the EdX Platform and makes it possible for instructors to create questions that expect a free-text response.

Instructors define the following paramters in Studio:

• display name
• display correctness (True/False)
• Full-Credit Phrases (a list of phrases, of which, one must be present in the student's response in order to receive full-credit)
• Half-Credit Phrases (a list of phrases, of which, one must be present in the student's response in order to receive at least half-credit)
• Maximum Number of Attempts
• Maximum Word Count
• Minimum Word Count
• Prompt
• Question Weight

Students enter and submit their free-text responses, which instantly gets evaluated according to the parameters above.

• Add the xblock to your requirements/edx/github.text file e.g. -e git+https://github.com/Stanford-Online/xblock-free-text-response@cfb793db182b60281875b83b53a98640d740ebcf#egg=xblock-free-text-response

• In Studio Settings/Advanced Settings add the xblock to the Advanced Module List. e.g. "freetextresponse"

Now, when you create a component "Free-text Response" should appear in the Advanced Component List.
