How do you translate “Freitext-Aufgabe”? It’s an ‘e-learning term’. It means that a learner has to answer an open question by typing their answer into a message box similar to the one here on the forum. So, it’s not a multiple choice question but a question where the person inserts their own text and submits it.
What’s that in English?

Yes this is a difficult one in English. Let me think and come back to it.
Well google language tools translates it literally to Free-text task
translate.google.com/translate_t … xt-Aufgabe
Unfortunately it’s hard for me to guess what the context means in German since I don’t speak German myself. If you describe the task in more detail I’m sure I could tell you the correct english term for it.
Free text task sounds like ‘free writing’ where a person would write whatever they wish without worrying about length or formatting and without having a set topic. Even more extreme would be a style of writing called ‘stream of consciousness’ where a person writes whatever comes to mind without really thinking about it even if what they’re writing sounds completely bizarre.
Hope that helps.
Sorry I didn’t read that completely before replying. I would say that would either be called a text answer or paragraph answer question.
If it’s essentially a one sentence answer I would probably call it a “sentence answer” question.
And if the answer was expected to be a few sentences I would call it a “paragraph answer” question.
Whoops I forgot this one sorry.
In English I think it would be a matter of description … I can’t think of anything and the best I have found is …
Short Answer Question. Requires a short answer to a question.

Short answer question would be fine as well. Short answer can be both ‘sentence answer’ and ‘paragraph answer’ so that’s even better.
