If a learner types in some freeform text to a text entry box, is there a way to check that the learner typed in certain words while ignoring the other words (after they click a Submit button)?

    You could use Conditional Actions to check for certain words in the TEB's associated user variable using the Expression action and the Contains operator.

    I used the Scrolling Text Interaction in this case. To score the question you can use the approach with two Next buttons described in this blog post:
