Insert mathematical formulas
Your web pages can contain complex mathematical equations. Launch WIRIS editor with a simple click and work with a visual (WYSIWYG) editor to create or modify your expressions.
Insert interactive mathematics
But you may want the reader being able to interact with your contents. Then insert a session of WIRIS cas, a calculation engine that performs on-line calculations and 2D and 3D interactive graphics. Your readers can experience real maths live!
Empower your Moodle Quiz module with mathematics
Moodle Quiz allows you to create questionnaires for your students. If you would enjoy such features as randomised data and automatic evaluation and feedback, then WIRIS quizzes is your solution. This component enhances the existing question types of Moodle with the power of mathematics:
- You keep full control over random data (create a random matrix with a set range, for example, or a polynomial with a double root).
- Add 2D or 3D graphics in your questions, answers and feedback.
- The answers of the students are automatically evaluated and their feedback is provided taking into account the randomness of the question and that of the answer!
- The evaluation checks for mathematically equivalent answers to the expected, but not exactly the expected solution. For example, if the solution were
, we want the system to interpret
as a correct answer. This can only be achieved via a calculation engine as WIRIS. - The teacher decides if the student has access to a calculation engine session or a formula editor for introducing their answer.
- The production and modification time of the exercises is reduced to the minimum through simple and visual edition.
