Using Moodle 2.1 and developing quiz with multiple choice questions. I have imported png file of fractions created in math editor in Word since Moodle doesn't do fractions.
The images appear too close together, forcing the radial dial selection button to go all kinds of strange places. I am thinking that if I could add some space between the radial dial selections it would solve the problem. Ideas?
Moodle can do fractions (and more). See http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/TeX_notation_filter or http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Advanced_Maths_Tools.
If you are really still using Moodle 2.1, you need to plan an upgrade ASAP. I expect upgrading would fix your layout problems.
Here is a quick summary of how you can display Maths symbols using a thing called Mathjax which
relies on Javascript. This is a distillation of some information on the page that Tim linked to.
If you go to Site Administration/Appearance/Additional HTML and paste the following into
within Head
<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
MathJax.Hub.Config({ <br /> MMLorHTML: { prefer: "HTML" },
tex2jax: { <br /> displayMath: [ ['$$','$$'], ["\\[","\\]"] ], <br /> inlineMath: [ ['$','$'], ["\\(","\\)"]], <br /> processEscapes: true <br /> }
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS_HTML"></script>
Then go to a question and put something like the following into a question
$$\frac{2}{5}$$
When you view the question you will see a lovely rendering of 2/5
That's a lot of trouble to display something as simple as that fraction, but it gives you the power
to display all manner of fancy maths symbols that are otherwise unavailable within ordinary HTML.
