00:00:02.060 --> 00:00:05.170
Welcome to our tutorial on DocsPlus
Cloze.

00:00:06.030 --> 00:00:10.990
In this tutorial we'll be looking at how
to create and edit a Cloze document.

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:16.690
Cloze documents allow you to quickly
produce a fill the blanks activity based

00:00:16.691 --> 00:00:19.970
on a piece of text with key information
removed.

00:00:21.130 --> 00:00:27.951
To create this activity, click the arrow next to
the New Document icon in the Document ribbon.

00:00:28.930 --> 00:00:31.450
And choose New Cloze Document.

00:00:33.270 --> 00:00:38.810
This is Edit View for a Cloze document,
where you can add text and adjust the

00:00:38.811 --> 00:00:43.710
settings to provide the right level of
support or challenge for your learners.

00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:47.990
First, give your Cloze activity a title
here.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:59.670
Then type or paste the text that will make
up the body of the activity.

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:03.890
You can now select the words you want to
remove.

00:01:07.030 --> 00:01:10.858
Highlight words and choose
Remove Selected to remove

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:14.390
targeted words or phrases
of up to three words.

00:01:15.950 --> 00:01:21.790
Or use Express Remove to create an
activity quickly by removing words at a

00:01:21.791 --> 00:01:27.430
specified frequency, such as every fifth
word or that share a spelling pattern.

00:01:28.490 --> 00:01:32.890
You can also choose to leave initial
sentences intact as a model.

00:01:36.230 --> 00:01:42.150
To restore text that has been removed,
click it, then choose Replace Text.

00:01:44.890 --> 00:01:51.091
Next, you can decide the level of support you
want to offer children when filling in the gaps.

00:01:51.850 --> 00:01:57.631
The Blanks options allow you to adjust the
size the blanks are displayed in the document.

00:01:58.350 --> 00:02:00.470
Standard is the default option.

00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:05.010
Large increases the size
of the blanks, ideal if you

00:02:05.011 --> 00:02:08.410
intend to print it for children
to handwrite their answers.

00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:14.230
Actual word length changes the size of the
blank depending on the length of the word

00:02:14.231 --> 00:02:19.630
that has been removed, providing an
additional clue as to the correct option.

00:02:20.630 --> 00:02:24.870
The Suggestions options allow you to
decide the words that are offered

00:02:24.871 --> 00:02:29.410
alongside the document to support children
in filling in the blanks.

00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:36.691
Removed Words displays the words that have
been removed from the text alongside the document.

00:02:37.100 --> 00:02:42.510
Custom allows you to type in specific
words to be offered for a selected blank.

00:02:48.310 --> 00:02:54.551
Or you can choose None, so learners must fill
in the gaps by typing the answers themselves.

00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:58.779
With Removed Words selected,
you can choose how many

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:02.090
words are offered when
selecting each blank here.

00:03:05.775 --> 00:03:10.930
And you can also choose to dim words that
have already been added to the document here.

00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:16.380
Once you've finished creating or editing
your Cloze document, choose Print

00:03:16.381 --> 00:03:22.301
Worksheet to send the activity to a
connected printer to create physical copies.

00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:26.960
Or click Go to leave Edit View and use the
activity.

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:29.360
Thanks for watching.
