&gt; <br>
&gt; I've got an interaction with a passage of text, and several words<br>
&gt; blanked out to make a fill in the blank exercise.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; How would you best use a hint to keep the learner on track?<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Right now I am checking over the current answer, counting how many<br>
&gt; correct characters there are, and then adding the next one.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Trouble is you can just keep banging the 'hint' button and you get shown<br>
&gt; the answer eventually, and that's what people willdo: they need to work<br>
&gt; out the answer for themselves, but get some help...<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Any bright ideas? <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Can limit the number of hints per field?<br>
&gt; Limit to the first n characters (maybe word.length / 2);<br>
&gt; Allow only so may hints for the whole interaction?<br>
