                        WirisQuizzes is an assessment tool with computer-based grading that enhances standard question types with advanced mathematical and scientific capabilities. It integrates with LMS platforms like Moodle and Canvas, and can also connect to your own assessment tool via a public API.

                        To get started, it’s helpful to understand how powerful WirisQuizzes can be in a classroom setting. Its key features include automatic grading, random parameters, and graphical answers. You can find a full overview in the WirisQuizzes Features section.

                        All mathematical content in a WirisQuizzes question is created using the WirisQuizzes Studio (or simply Studio). Available options depend on the question and selected answer type. Among all types, Short Answer offers the most features. Studio provides settings that allow flexible handling of mathematical content, detailed in the WirisQuizzes User Interface section.

                        When selecting an answer format, several options are available depending on the expected student response:

                        • Equation (any math expression)
                        • Text (plain text)
                        • Plotter (geometry-based graphical answers)
                        • Statistics charts
                        • Sketch (freehand drawing with handwriting tool)

                        For more, see the WirisQuizzes Answer Types section.

                        The WirisQuizzes plugin also adds six new question types to Moodle's standard set. These are similar to default Moodle types but include powerful math-specific enhancements. Each type is explained with examples in the WirisQuizzes Question Types section.

                        To better understand the interface and question-creation process, refer to step-by-step examples in the Basic Guide to Question Creation with WirisQuizzes section.

                        Finally, we offer free online training (in English and Spanish) to help you learn how to create questions with WirisQuizzes and explore its features. Choose between our Regular Training Program (free) or the more in-depth Extended Training Program. Details are available in the WirisQuizzes Online Training section.
