WirisQuizzes services 4.5 - June 2022
Reading time: 2minA faster, improved version of WirisQuizzes is here; WirisQuizzes 4.5 release is out.
This version has a new look and user experience, and it also runs faster than our previous versions. We wanted to improve the user experience of the WirisQuizzes Studio, provide a more straightforward way of creating content and adding editing questions with WirisQuizzes, and improve the speed performance of the WirisQuizzes Studio.
What's new
New interface
WirisQuizzes Studio has a fresh new look. We've renovated its key menus and editors with our product design team.

Some of the changes we've implemented:
Launch WirisQuizzes Studio button
We’ve renovated the button that allows you to launch WirisQuizzes Studio settings from your LMS (Moodle specifically), now you can activate WirisQuizzes functionalities by clicking the WirisQuizzes logo button as shown below.
Sidebar navigation menu
This new sidebar navigation menu for answer type selection is more visual and allows you to clearly distinguish between answer types and have easy access to each answer type. From now on we also distinguish between geometry graph features from statistic graph features.

Tip
You can see a detailed description of each answer type here.
Top auxiliary buttons
The top menu will support you when managing the question file and finding support. The file submenu button includes options such as:
- Import
- Export
- View Source
The question mark button guides you to our documentation website pages according to the section of the WirisQuizzes you’re in: answer types, input options, validation options, random variables.

Hyperlink buttons
In the hyperlink buttons section you’ll find useful information about the WirisQuizzes product, report issues and provide us your feedback and suggestions and enroll to our free or premium training courses.
- Enroll in our training course.
- Visit our website.
- Give us your feedback.
- Report an issue.
Sidebar settings menu
In the sidebar settings menu, you’ll be able to access easily our input options and validation options.

Random variables button
We’ve also separated the feature of the random variable to our settings menu (input options and validation options), we hope this will clarify the clear distinction between these three features.
Enlarged MathType and Graph editors
We know how difficult it can be to insert large equations and design detailed graphs on small editors. So, we’ve made sure to increase the size of our editors to make sure you have all the space you need to be STEM creative.
Auxiliary text input in initial content and correct answer sections
It can be difficult for new joiners in the WirisQuizzes community to distinguish between Initial Content and Correct Answer features. Actually, this single button change can make a big difference when using WirisQuizzes for the first time and the options for both Initial Content and Correct Answer features are endless. To make this onboarding journey as smooth as possible, we made sure to also introduce auxiliary texts to the Initial Content and Correct Answer sections.
By clarifying that:
- Initial Content - is the initial state of the answer editor that your students will see when attempting the question.
- Correct Answer - the place where you can enter the correct answer for this question, you can modify the criteria used to compare it to your students' responses using the validation options menu.
Product notification box
We've also introduced a notification box where you can find product information and alerts with valuable links to our documentation and others.
Content edition UX
This new feature behaves almost as a Fill in the Blank question by allowing you to lock the initial content and leave empty spaces for your student to input their answers.
You can access this new feature by going to Input Options > Initial Content > Lock Initial Content. You can see a live example below:
