I would like to create a text area input form (like the images below), so i can evaluate the answer afterwards.

A somewhat hacky alternative that would _probably_ work:  As best I recall, we don't verify what kind of field a short-answer question was displayed in.  You could add some JavaScript to the page that would replace the <input type="text"> with a <textarea> tag after the page was painted.  Note: I haven't tried that, but it feels like it ought to work.  Note that you can't do the change at page-load time; the questions are dynamically fetched and added to the page after the page has loaded.  Alternatively, you could modify the JS that builds question elements onto the page to use <textarea> rather than <input>.  First option is safer for not getting conflicts if/when we ever get around to adding support for server-side grading of questions.
