WirisQuizzes services 4.6 - October 2022
Reading time: 1minCreating dynamic questions with WirisQuizzes Studio requires some time and experience; we do love CalcMe, but we know that it might not be the most accessible tool to use when you're just starting with WirisQuizzes. That is why we've created an easier and quicker way to generate random variables for your dynamic questions.
With this release, we hope to save you time and some headaches, especially when starting with WirisQuizzes. But don't worry, if you're an algorithm line lover, we are not taking this away from you. You will always be able to use our advanced mode.
What's new
Random variables quick edition mode
WirisQuizzes has a new functionality for generating dynamic questions. From now on, you can create random variables with our quick edition mode.
Tip
You can see more details on using this new procedure here.
Add integers as random variables
You can add up to five random variable groups to your question by clicking on the Add variable button.

For the moment, these variables will need to be integers, but we are working to provide more options in the future
Display random variables in the question text, initial content and feedback
These variables can also be used outside WirisQuizzes Studio as when we created them with CalcMe. To include a variable anywhere within a question type, write a pound symbol # followed by the variable's name (e.g. #a).

Evaluate these variables in the question solution
When defining the question's correct answer, we can expect the corresponding expression to be displayed as we have written it, or we want to evaluate it before showing the result to the students. To do so, we need to use the evaluate() command and insert the variables to be simplified as its argument.

If we don't use the command mentioned above and just type √#a²+#b², the correct answer will be displayed, as you can see below.

It won't suppose any validation problem, as the student's answer will be compared following the corresponding assertions as usual. We only recommend using the evaluate() command to display the correct answer in a more compact way.
Convert automatically to the advanced mode
You can automatically convert these basic random variables to the advanced mode if you wish. Thus, you will be able to add more variables and restrictions using all CalcMe resources.
