5. You can choose to check box "Allow students to submit without entering an answer." The default messaging for students is "Answer the question on paper," but this text can be customized.
Note: This setting is useful when students are answering a question outside of Edcite and you want to be able to grade it within Edcite. One example of this is when students answer a question on paper and either upload a picture using the paperclip tool or turn in a physical paper response to the teacher.
