Can I disable the submit button on the “Explain your answer” portion of a math response until students have typed a minimum number of characters?
As of yet, there are not any string methods, so can’t count characters in an entry.
I know this isn’t exactly what this topic is about, but if it only requires numbers can we count that using place values?
You can disable the Submit button of a text response based on the number of characters, with some caveats I’ll get into below.
But here’s how it would look, where I’ve disabled the Submit button until a minimum of 15 characters was entered:
It’s a little crude though. It doesn’t know how to handle punctuation for one thing, and for another it counts numbers as valid characters in its count (which actually could be the intent anyway so maybe that’s good after all).
Far from perfect but far better than nothing. Here you go: stringCount • Activity Builder by Desmos Classroom
