Creating flexible e-learning quizzes with literate programming

OZCOTS presentation (2023-12-15)

Slides and notes for a presentation about moodlequiz at the 11th Australian Conference on Teaching Statistics (OZCOTS 2023).

Authored by: * Mitchell O'Hara-Wild (presenting author) * Emi Tanaka * Thomas Fung * Iris Jiang

Abstract

E-learning quizzes with automated marking systems allow educators to assess students’ abilities, motivate learning, give automatic and instant feedback, and are scalable to a large number of students. Many quiz questions prevalent in teaching statistics use numerical and single/multiple choice responses. These types of questions can be algorithmically generated to create multiple versions of the question with different instances of randomised tasks, datasets and/or inputs. In practice, quiz creators must conform to a constrained and/or rigid structure due to the limitations of the deployment platform, which may not align with the natural order of thinking.

In this talk, I provide a higher-order overview of creating algorithmic e-learning quizzes and propose a set of literate programming design principles for a robust, yet flexible system to create these quizzes. The design of this system is implemented in the moodlequiz R package for the free and open-source learning management platform Moodle. The core set of literate programming design principles can be extended to other learning management platforms.

Structure

  • Introduction
  • Moodle quizzes

  • Improved quiz creation
  • Literate programming in teaching statistics
  • Introducing moodlequiz
  • Use for writing quizzes
  • Randomisation
  • Future work (Quarto, other platform formats)

Format

12 minute presentation, 3 minutes for questions.
