WIRIS quizzes

What is it?

WIRIS quizzes is a plugin for LMS that enhances the questionnaire systems with functionalities related to mathematics and science.

WIRIS quizzes improves the question types True/False, Multiple choice, Matching, Short answer, Essay, Embedded answers (Cloze)... To sum up, every question type you may come accross. You can create sophisticated math questions with very little effort.

All mathematical items are generated in a single calculation section and they can be referenced from anywhere in the content, question wording, answer, feedback for the student, etc.

On the side of the student, he will be able to introduce his answers by using a WYSIWYG formula editor and, if the teacher so specifies, they will have access to a WIRIS cas session to make some calculations. The answer syntax check will prevent the students from unnecessary errors and misspellings.

Where?

WIRIS quizzes is today integrated within Moodle, empowering the standard module Quiz with mathematical capabilities, but several other integrations are in process. Mathematical features are shown or hidden in Moodle simply by clicking on the Show Advanced button.

We are working on a API (Application Protocol Interface) to let assessment systems communicate on a standardized fashion with WIRIS quizzes. Check WIRIS quizzes generic.
