Hi Niels, After updating the package this worked for me as well!

Hi Marissa, My upload of your example turned out to be successful. I guess you did not use the most recent version of the package? Best, Niels

Hi Marissa,

Canvas now has a huge delay on my upload jobs and I am unable to check your exercise. When looking at the xml, things look okay, see below.

Because in my case "render_fib" looks okay, it may be due to an old version of the package on your machine. Do you use the most recent version of the package? If not could you try again after updating through:

install.packages("exams", repos = "http://R-Forge.R-project.org", type = "source")

#xml structure:
<response_str ident="TestQ1_3_essay_520449019_section_1_item_1_string_RESPONSE_8132375" rcardinality="Single" numtype="Decimal">
<render_fib fibtype="Decimal" maxchars="1000" rows="10" columns="50">
<flow_label class="Block">
<response_label ident="TestQ1_3_essay_520449019_section_1_item_1_string_RESPONSE_8132375" rshuffle="No"/>
</flow_label>
</render_fib>
</response_str>

Hi Niels, I added the .Rmd file I use to create the question in the attachments. Then I create a quiz using: exams2canvas("Quiz01_3.Rmd", name = "TestQ1_3_essay"). Hope this helps!

Hi Marissa, Could you provide a minimal reproducible example? Best, Niels

Sadly this still results in a canvas question with a small text box (a 'fill in the blank' question in canvas), instead of a larger essay type box.

Hi Marissa,

I just looked at essayreg.Rmd in the example exercises of the package and this seems to do the trick. Could you try it?

Meta-information
================
extype: string
exsolution: nil
exname: Q1_3
exstringtype: essay
exextra[essay,logical]: TRUE
exextra[essay_format,character]: editor
exextra[essay_required,logical]: FALSE
exextra[essay_fieldlines,numeric]: 0
exmaxchars: 1000, 10, 50

Using the exams2canvas function I am trying to create a Canvas quiz, with open questions. Currently for each question it displays a very small text box in Canvas where the answer can be typed. However I want to display a larger text box. Extype is set to string, and exstringtype is set to essay (like below).

Meta-information
================
exname: Q1_3
extype: string
exsolution: nil
exstringtype: essay

However this still results in a very small text box. In Canvas I can manually select 'essay question', and this will create a big text box. Is there a way I can set this using the exams package?
