Other: WIRIS quizzes
WIRIS quizzes is a plugin for Moodle that enhances the questionnaire systems with functionalities related to mathematics and science.
WIRIS quizzes improves every existing question type: True/False, Multiple choice, Matching, Short answer, Essay,Embedded answers (Cloze)... To sum up, every question type you may come accross. You can create sophisticated math questions with very little effort.
All mathematical items are generated in a single calculation section and they can be referenced from anywhere in the content, question wording, answer, feedback for the student, etc.
On the side of the student, he will be able to introduce his answers by using a WYSIWYG formula editor and, if the teacher so specifies, they will have access to a WIRIS cas session to make some calculations. The answer syntax check will prevent the students from unnecessary errors and misspellings.
WIRIS quizzes can be used for free up to a certain level per natural year. Please read conditions and prices in WIRIS store.

Sorry for not communicating, I just saw your comment...
The version for Moodle 2.1 will be available in Q2 of 2012 at the latest. I suggest that you subscribe to our quarterly newsletter to stay informed: www.wiris.com/en/newsletter

Please do not use the word "questionnaire" in your description, as it relates to an existing Moodle plugin. This might be confusing to potential users of your plugin. I suggest replacing with "questions" or "quiz".

The version here (of July 4th) is very outdated. We will change it in a few days.
WIRIS quizzes for Moodle 2 is a complete rewrite, and has had a lot of changes in the past few months.
Thanks for your feedback!
We hope you will give WIRIS another try when your sysadmins upgrade the PHP version, and you'll receive all our support!
Very nice plugin, but all the new question types are named in English only, and there is no way to translate them for Moodle users of other languages, as the plugin itself and the question types are not hosted within the moodle database (but at wiris.com). It is a pity. Are there any plans to host the plugin question types within the moodle database, so that the English strings can be translated by the AMOS interfase ?
WIRIS QUIZZES for Moodle 2 is available in Spanish, Italian and Catalan. More languages to come soon.
We will check the AMOS problem that you mention and come back with an answer in a few days.
Indeed, Wiriz quizzes includes a /lang/es folder with international spanish translations. Could you please include also a /lang/es_mx folder with the same strings, BUT CHANGE "emparejamiento" por "relación de columnas" (Mexican and European Spanish have some differences, such as this) and, could you please translate the following English strings for both language packs:
qtype_wq addingwq "Adding a generic WIRIS question" "Añadiendo una pregunta genérica WIRIS"
qtype_wq editingwq "Editing a generic WIRIS question" "Editando una pregunta genérica WIRIS"
qtype_wq wqsummary "This adds a generic WIRIS question. Only for test purpose. It will be hide from here." "Esto añade una pregunta genérica WIRIS. Solamente para fines de prueba. Será oculto de aquí".
and
qtype_wq wq_help "Generic WIRIS quizzes Help" "Ayuda para exámenes genéricos WIRIS" para la carpeta es_mx
qtype_wq wq_help "Generic WIRIS quizzes Help" "Ayuda para cuestionarios genéricos WIRIS" para la carpeta es
You can register yourself as a translator in AMOS at http://lang.moodle.org/
The international spanish has only 96% translated strings. We need help.
Thanks in advance for your help. GRACIAS
Let me schedule it for the next release, and notify you when done.
¡Muchas gracias!
