Creating Exercises and Tools

############################

The format for edX problems is based on the `LONCAPA XML format`_,
|
||||
although the two are not quite compatible. In the edX variant, problems are
|
||||
composed of four types of tags:
|
||||
Use the chapters in this section to understand how to create exercises and
|
||||
tools in your course.
|
||||
|
||||
* **inputtypes** are similar to XBlocks. They define ways for users to enter
|
||||
input into the problem.
|
||||
* **responsetypes** are graders. They define how inputs are mapped to grades.
|
||||
* **hinters** are used to provide feedback to problems.
|
||||
* Standard HTML tags are used for formatting.
|
||||
For information on how to develop your course content in the Studio Outline
|
||||
page, see :ref:`Developing Your Course Index`.
|
||||
|
||||
OLX is designed to allow mixing-and-matching of inputtypes,
|
||||
responsetypes, and hinters. For example, a numerical grader could match
|
||||
7+-0.1%. It would be okay to use this with any inputtype which output a number,
|
||||
whether this was a text box, equation input, slider, or multiple choice
|
||||
question. In practice, this doesn't always work. For example, in the former
|
||||
case, a multiple choice question would not give an output in a format a
|
||||
numerical grader could handle.
|
||||
For information on building specific course component types, see :ref:`Creating
|
||||
Course Content Index`.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, in many cases, there is a 1:1 mapping between graders and inputs.
|
||||
For some types of inputs (especially discipline-specific specialized ones), it
|
||||
simply does not make sense to have more than one grader.
|
||||
|
||||
The most general grader is ``customresponse``. This uses Python code
|
||||
to evaluate the input. By design, this ought to work with any inputtype,
|
||||
although there are bugs mixing this with a small number of the newer
|
||||
inputtypes.
|
||||
|
||||
Like LON-CAPA, OLX allows embedding of code to generate parameterized problems.
|
||||
Unlike LON-CAPA, edX supports Python (and not Perl). Otherwise, the syntax is
|
||||
approximately identical.
