Deprecated: Generation of Exams for OpenOlat (Uni Innsbruck)

Description

Unexported legacy interface to exams2openolat with slightly different default values as used at the Department of Statistics, Uni Innsbruck. Instead it is recommended to use exams2openolat directly.

Usage

exams2openolat(
  file,
  n = 1L,
  dir = ".",
  name = "olattest",
  maxattempts = 1,
  cutvalue = 1000,
  solutionswitch = FALSE,
  qti = "2.1",
  stitle = "Aufgabe",
  ititle = "Frage",
  adescription = "",
  sdescription = "",
  eval = list(partial = FALSE, negative = FALSE),
  template = "qti21",
  ...
)

Arguments

file	character. A specification of a (list of) exercise files.
n	integer. The number of copies to be compiled from file.
dir	character. The default is either display on the screen or the current working directory.
name	character. A name prefix for resulting ZIP and RDS file.
maxattempts	integer. The maximum attempts for one question, may also be set to Inf.
cutvalue	numeric. The cutvalue at which the exam is passed.
solutionswitch	logical. Should the question/item solutionswitch be enabled?
qti	character indicating whether QTI "1.2" or "2.1" (default) should be generated.
stitle, ititle, adescription, sdescription	character. Descriptions for various titles/descriptions. Defaults to generic German titles.
eval	named list. Specifies the settings for the evaluation policy, see function exams_eval. The default is not to partial credits for multiple-choice exercises.
template	character. The IMS QTI 2.1 template that should be used. In addition to the default template this can be set to "qti21test" which uses almost the same template but with a PASS variable. Thus, no cutvalue is needed and the online tests just generate a SCORE.
...	arguments passed on to exams2openolat.

Details

exams2openolat is a convenience interface for exams2openolat with somewhat different defaults: German titles/descriptions, partial credits disabled, solution switch turned off, large cut value (so that the test cannot be passed), and with fancy quotes turned off in verbatim R output. Finally, an RDS file is stored as a by-product containing the xexams list. This enables extracting and displaying specific exercises from an online test in R.

Value

A list of exams as generated by xexams is returned invisibly.
