They want all the student to be given the same exercises, just presented in a different order. If I understood it right, with that option students get different exercises as "Exercise 1". Note: I may agree that the order of exercises is not a problem (if you really have a good pool of exercises the exam is fair and students don't cheat), but it seems to be a simple thing to implement and, they would like to have it as they say the platform MyMathLab (by Pearson) can do it.

I don't mind ; but the possibility to let wims choose a random exercise is already present. e.g. use for an exam _exercise a pool of worksheet_exercises chosen from 1 or more worksheets in file ".exam*" the syntax is :1 1.11, 2.5, 6.3 ,9.6 meaning exam exercise 1 may random choose worksheet 1 exercise 11 worksheet 2 exercise 5 worksheet 6 exercise 3 worksheet 9 exercise 6 kind regards, Joke |

The Italian user group (apparently here are some other users) asks for the possibility to have exam exercises presented to the students in random order (anti cheating). It seems to me an easy thing to do, and if you have no objections I'll work on it. The idea is to give the teacher the option to choose random listing and for such option simply to have a permutation in the list in student.phtml (so no conflict with examlog). I'll probably need some help on a couple of issues, but first I want to hear your opinion Marina |
