What's new
Introducing Auxiliary Text to Graph Questions
The auxiliary text feature will also be available on graph questions, and students will be able to explain their reasoning behind the building of a graph or area.
Tip
You can see more details regarding it here.
Import complex algorithms to CalcMe
With the introduction of the new CalcMe algorithm line feature, we will automatically detect any algorithm in Wiris CAS for you and convert it to a CalcMe algorithm. Thus, you can have a better experience further editing it using our fully functional code editor.
Tip

What's fixed
For LMS integrations of WirisQuizzes
Bugs related to WirisQuizzes LMS integrations have been fixed. Some errors related to question types have been solved, which will enable you to use WirisQuizzes in a faster and smoother way.
Related to specific question types:
- Cloze questions errors related to adding multiple-choice questions have been fixed.
- The matching question type whose possible answer contains a repeated value (due to using random parameters) has been fixed. It no longer displays the repeated value twice instead of one anymore.
- An extra line break is no longer added to every option when creating multiple-choice questions.
For everyone using the tool in Catalan or Spanish:
- The string above the auxiliary input component has now been translated to Catalan and Spanish for those who don't feel so familiar with English.
Regarding error messages:
- An error message no longer appears when a teacher clicks re-grade to a quiz that was not graded before.
Other fixes related to all WQ questions:
- Questions with the auxiliary input component enabled no longer lose it when migrating to WirisQuizzes 4. You no longer have to select the option again manually.
- Questions whose statements involve equations in LaTeX that contain underscores no more prolonged crash on WirisQuizzes 4.
- Questions no longer display the statement not filtered, and the input boxes are broken when their answer contains decimal numbers without the leading 0 (that is, .12345).
- Strokes within a student's answer are no longer lost with WirisQuizzes 4.
For WirisQuizzes Studio
Bugs related to WirisQuizzes Studio have now been fixed.
- When MathType appears in a popup, it now preserves edited formulas. Moreover, since the MathType popup no longer opens as blank, it is possible to edit a pre-existing formula.
- Some menus in CalcMe especially dropdown panels, no longer appear misplaced when opened in WirisQuizzes Studio
- Dropdowns of Graph within the correct answer activity of a graphical answer question can now be opened when browsing Firefox.
- WirisQuizzes Studio now correctly preserves the changing styles of plotted objects using the Graph in the question’s statement.
- Defining the parameter answer in an algorithm box in CalcMe is now working correctly.
- Compound questions do not slow down the load of the Input Options activity anymore.
For Question Grading
Bugs related to our Question Grading Engine have now been fixed.
- CalcMe does not ignore the line after ending the multiline comment.
- When importing the correct answer in a question with a grading function with a random parameter, the evaluation of the correct answer no longer fails.
- Graphical Answer questions regarding functions with asymptotes no longer break in some corner cases.
- WirisQuizzes Studio correctly grades functions with random parameters. The evaluation no longer fails when you import the correct answer in a question with a grading function and where the right answer uses random parameters.
- Questions regarding multi-letter units (such as cm, ml, Wb, Bq, atm, floz, etc.) within compound answers with text fields no longer cause wrong corrections of correct answers in WirisQuizzes 4.
- No errors occur when grading a compound question with multiple answers, thus leading to correct grading results.
What's improved
Ready only after creating a text field
This is mainly for all System Administrators who manually integrate WirisQuizzes Now, you'll be able to not allow for trial and error and make sure the student's first recorded answer is the final one. You'll be able to disable the students' answer field as you wish programmatically.
