Glossary:Cloze deletion

cloze deletion (also: cloze question or cloze item) - an item in which part of the question was replaced by three dots and moved to the answer field (btw: there is no spelling error here; cloze is spelled with 'z'). For example:

Q: The highest literacy rate in Africa has been reached in [...](country)(2009)?
A: Seychelles (93%)

Cloze items can be a simple and effective remedy for item complexity. If you have items that persistently cause recall problems, try using cloze deletion. SuperMemo simplifies creating cloze deletions by providing options such as:

• Cloze on the learning bar,
• Reading : Remember cloze on the component menu, or
• Remember cloze on the Read toolbar
