Hello,
The pandemic has been an accelerator of many things, and I wanted to share the latest tools for supporting the creation of questions in GIFT format:
- Blog post (overview)
- Online GIFT editor/previewer with snippets
- GIFT Format Pack (VSCode extension) by Ethan Ou
- GIFT Quiz Editor for Google Forms (GSuite) which currently has more than 220,000 users since it was released just over a year ago.
- All the tools are based on a reverse-engineered parsing expression grammar (PEG) for GIFT
The current PEG doesn't yet support question tags embedded in comments, but it's open source so people are welcome to contribute. I have made the above tools in JavaScript because of the diversity of tools and enthusiasm of the community.
Cheers,
Cris Fuhrman
