Plugin Exercise

Introduced with Tiki9

Use this wiki plugin to create exercises within a wiki page for students to test their new skills. Use this plugin to define inline questions and give optional answers to be selected from. A score is given for multiple exercises within a page. The plugin can be used to create questions with suggested answers or with a text input.

Parameters

Create an exercise/test with questions and grade
Introduced in Tiki 9.
Go to the source code
Preferences required: wikiplugin_exercise

Parameters Accepted Values Description Default Since
answer text Used inline to specify the right answer to the question and propose an input field. 9.0
incorrect text Incorrect answer to suggest. Several incorrect answers can be suggested (separated by "+") 9.0

Examples

Choose the correct homonym between where/were/we're

The below example will display the sentence with 3 text boxes where the exercise plugins are included inline. The plugin that does not expect an answer will be used to display the controls to check the score. There can be multiple exercise blocks within a single page.

Copy to clipboard
This week-end {exercise answer=we're} going to go {exercise answer=where} we {exercise answer=were} best served. {exercise}

Same example with suggestions

Instead of displaying text boxes, drop-down will be displayed. The last section indicates the other options to display additionally to the right answer specified in-line. The order will be randomized. The last question also specifies justifications that will be provided after the correction is made.

This code:

Copy to clipboard
This week-end {exercise answer=we're} going to go {exercise answer=where} we {exercise answer=were} best served. {EXERCISE()} --- Comments can be written after the triple-dash. where were --- were we're --- where: Not a location we're: Cannot be replaced by 'we are' {EXERCISE}

Would produce (screenshot):

As produced from the code:
This week-end ___________ going to go ___________
we ___________ best served.

You scored ~SCORE~ out of ~TOTAL~


Alternatively, the options can be provided in-line instead of in the end block. This may be helpful to keep the information in-context, but sacrifices some readability in the text:

Copy to clipboard
This week-end {exercise answer=we're incorrect="where + were"} going to go {exercise answer=where incorrect="were + we're"} we {exercise answer=were incorrect="where (Not a location) + we're (Cannot be replaced by 'we are')"} best served. {exercise}


Produces:
This week-end ___________ going to
go ___________ we ___________ best served.

You scored ~SCORE~ out of ~TOTAL~
