Create Quiz guide

WIRIS is a set of solutions that have been added to Moodle to enhance mathematical features. WIRIS empowers your questions by adding:

• Random variables (such as polynomials, matrices, plots...).
• Automatic evaluation of the answers.
• Graphical representations in 2D and 3D.
• A formula editor to introduce students' answers.
• Syntaxcheck of the answer for open answers.
• Open questions, such as Introduce a real number that is not a rational (There are infinite correct and incorrect answers).

The WIRIS MathType editor is a WYSIWYG formula editor designed to streamline the process of writing mathematical formulae. It is accessed via the text editor which is available when creating Page, Book and Label resources. The text editor is also available when writing Quiz questions.

To access the WIRIS toolbar, select the Show more icon on the text editor  icon. Select the Square root  icon in the toolbar. 

The MathType editor will open in front of the Moodle text editor. Each tab offers a set of symbols and operators to write formulae.

Question types on WIRIS are very similar to question types on Moodle. 

• With WIRIS it is possible to generate several different questions with one question, by setting random values for the variables in the problem.
• Every time the question is displayed, it shows new data values, although the structure of the question is the same.
• These new and random values are calculated online in real time.
