Subversion Repositories wimsdev

One of the big features of WIMS is that it allows anybody to create his/her

own exercises directly through the web browser.

<p>

Such an exercise created online is under OEF format (OEF: Online Exercise

Format). This format does not contain WIMS-specific information, and may be

used on any exercise system which accepts it.

</p><p>

Although OEF exercises do not exploit the full power offered by WIMS, they

are sufficiently versatile in most cases: you can put random parameters

(random numbers, functions, text...) into such an exercise, and make

complicated processes on them (differentiation, integration, evaluation,...).

Answers can be multiple choices with one or more correct answers, numerical

or functional input, or a mixture of them. You can even set up specific

conditions to analyze the answers, instead of comparing them with a standard

answer (so that for example exercises with infinitely many correct answers can be

created).

If you have set up a

!href module=$module&chapter=3 virtual class

, you can create exercises for your class and put them into

!href module=$module&chapter=3&open=$open,3_sheet#sheet worksheets

 so that your students can work on them and get

!href module=$module&chapter=1&open=$open,1_exo#exo scored

 for their works, giving you full control of their progress.

The online creation of exercises is done through the utility

!href module=adm/createxo Createxo

, which contains more detailed help pages about the format and syntax of

OEF exercises.
