Questions about Quizzes for Advanced Mathematics (Moodle 3.9)

Hello all,

I'm asking on behalf of a Mathematics convenor:

  1. Is it possible put randomised questions and answers into embedded answer questions?  It sounds like it should be possible but there is nothing obvious about it here:  https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Embedded_Answers_(Cloze)_question_type
  2. Is it possible to create wildcards what are dependent on other ones eg.  If A has the value 4 then B can only be 3, 6 and 8 and so on.
  3. Is there a way to stop odd negative sums:  Eg The convenor would like it to read 3 -10 rather than 3 + -10 . 

If not, are they in the pipeline? And are there any workarounds you could suggest?

With very many thanks,

Rowena

If you are serious about online assessment (or more likely, online practice) of maths, then if at all possible get a plugin designed for it.

* https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_formulas
* https://moodle.org/plugins/qtype_stack

STACK is harder to install, but probably more flexible.

Both of these question types can do multi-part questions.
