Variable Numeric Question Type

This question type was created by Jamie Pratt (http://jamiep.org/) for the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/).

This version of this question type is compatible with Moodle 2.5+. There are other versions available for Moodle 2.3+.

This question type requires the varnumericset question type to be installed. See: https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_varnumericset/

To install this question type using git, type this command in the root of your Moodle install:

git clone git://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_varnumeric.git question/type/varnumeric 

Then add question/type/varnumeric to your git ignore.

Alternatively, download the zip from https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_varnumeric/zipball/master unzip it into the question/type folder, and then rename the new folder to varnumeric.

You may want to install Tim's stripped down tinymce editor that only allows the use of superscript and subscript see https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-editor_supsub.

If the editor is not installed the question type can still be used but if it is installed when you make a question that requires scientific notation then this editor will be shown and a student can either enter an answer with the notation 1x10^5 where the ^5 is expressed with super script.
