font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Could probably quite easily
update the quiz page to have a ‘Number of Questions’ field, and that would then
limit the quiz to showing just that number, at random. Options would be ‘All’
or a number. The randomness is already done – right now it is set to use all
the questions, so would just need to change a couple of variables, I think.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

current Academic year is getting underway in East Anglia and I’ve got two Adult
and Community Learning Providers who are keen to get going with Xerte. They
asked me whether there was a way of making a random selection of questions from
a pool, e.g. to select six questions out of a popssible 30 for example. This
would enable it’s use in a group context because it would prevent all the
students getting the same questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

existing template that would do this, and I wondered if this was something that
could go on the wishlist if there is sufficient demand from other quarters as
well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
