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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
