:The project was originally intended as a [[CSL]] project but seems to be too useful for the OLPC itself. |
|||
== TestWiki == |
|||
The TestWiki will allow to generate multiple-choice tests and other tests in a wiki and to annotate those tests publicly or privately using the wiki syntax. |
|||
Tags of the TestWiki syntax will be in their own sub-namespace "TestWiki" |
|||
:<code><nowiki>{{TestWiki::Tag}}</nowiki></code> |
|||
=== Question types === |
|||
Question types will include multiple-choice, grouping, table choice, ordering and comparison with expressions. |
|||
A complex question will be able to combine several questions types (e.g. making a comparison the right answer in a multiple-choice test). |
|||
The software will be able to ask questions out of order and will keep track of successful answers to questions, |
|||
showing successfully answered questions less often. The software will also be able to mix questions from several modules. |
|||
Questions will allow to specify a pool of right and wrong answers from which only a small subset is shown in each test question. |
|||
The order of the questions will also be permuted randomly. |
|||
(Answering the test isn't learned based on the structure and layout of the test). |
|||
=== Categories === |
|||
TestWiki will allow to group tests into course modules with the module tag: |
|||
:<code><nowiki>{{TestWiki::Module|<page>}}</nowiki></code> |
|||
The module tag marks content as part of a course module which is described on the wiki page <nowiki>{{page}}</nowiki>. |
|||
Additionally test authors and users will be able to add their own non-standard categories independently. |
|||
(Every user will have his own namespace of categories and will be able to ignore author categories.) |
|||
=== Tags === |
|||
<nowiki>{{TestWiki::}}</nowiki>-tags will be invisible or appear as comments when a test page is displayed with the MediaWiki software. |
|||
: <nowiki>{{TestWiki::Test|<name>}}</nowiki> is the beginning of a test. |
|||
:: Parameters: |
|||
:: '''difficulty''' - the difficulty parameter assigns a numerical difficulty between 0 and 0x7ffffff (usually 0 to 10). |
|||
:: '''option''' - the option parameter can specify an identifier (a short word) that can be used to add or remove the question from a test scenario (as an option). |
|||
: <nowiki>{{TestWiki::Q}}</nowiki> is the beginning of a question. |
|||
: <nowiki>{{TestWiki::A}}</nowiki> is the beginning of an answer to the previous question. |
|||
=== Test format === |
|||
Tests will be formatted in XML in order to allow a well-defined and exchangeable database format for test databases. |
|||
=== Testing === |
|||
Users can add their own comments in wiki format but during a test comments are only shown after a question has been answered. |
|||
During a test conducted by a teacher the database of comments could be temporarily disabled or the pupils may be using a different computer. |
