Hi all,

I have created a simple PHP script to convert more user-friendly format of questions to moodle's GIFT format to help teachers/lecturers to prepare questions for moodle. Currently only multiple-choice and matching question supported, though. Any comment and feedback are appreciated Mamatheka

Sample of input

1.Who is <em>Indonesia's</em> 1st <strong>president</strong>?
*a.Ir. Sukarno
b.Moh. Hatta
c.Sukarno Hatta
d.Suharto

Matching.Match each definition about <strong>space</strong> below
1.Saturn’s largest moon * Mercury
2.The 2nd biggest planet in our solar system * Saturn
3.The hottest planet in our solar system * Venus
4.Planet famous for its big red spot on it * Jupiter

This is really nice.  Thanks for sharing.  it seems to take the guess work out of creating simple questions. 

What question types do you plan to support?

I want to cover all question types but since this is just a pet project I will just do it one at a time Mamatheka

Do you have any suggestion what question type should I add next?

Hi Yohanes, I had to have a play with your generator before I understood quite what it did, but I liked what I saw Mamatheka
