[Xerte] Random Selection of questions in Quizzes

[Julian Tenney]

Go to the templates menu, Page Templates. You’ be prompted for a folder to create a new project in. Let things happen for a few seconds and then you’ll get the Xerte Template Wizard open, a la tookits, for  your authoring delight.

 

You ought to be able to then import those standalone projects into the online version.

I didn't realise there was a template wizard in Xerte, so far just created bog standard information content no questions etc, I assumed I required the toolkit to be installed and moodle.

		If you download the latest esrion of Xerte from the web site, you’ll find an updated Page Templates wizard in there with an additional field for the Quiz.

		 

		Set it to ‘all’ or a number and have the quiz pick questions x from y at random. Please test it and let me know any feedback.

			It would be great if it were possible to get the random selection working in time for the next release of Online TK!

			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.

			Hi Julian and Patrick,

			 

			I hope you’re both well. The 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.

			 

			I couldn’t think of an 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.

			 

			Kindest Regards,
