## What is a Keyboard Input Element? <a href="#what-is-a-single-choice-element" id="what-is-a-single-choice-element"></a>

A **keyboard input** element creates text-based assessments where learners enter their answers manually.&#x20;

It’s useful for testing recall, language skills, math problems, or any task that requires precise, typed responses instead of multiple-choice selection.
