I do get quite excited during the presentation. I can make all sample questions available on request. I amused myself again when I heard me mention what I would do if I were/was independently wealthy.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdLkb2dderM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdLkb2dderM</a>Here is the hosting service we offer<a href="https://www.catalyst-eu.net/service/moodle-stack-hosting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.catalyst-eu.net/service/moodle-stack-hosting</a>(but it is all <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GPL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GPL</a> )<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/edtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edtech</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#math</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/stackmaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stackmaths</a>

Marcus GreenYesterdays STACK Maths seminarThe STACK webinar for the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Moodle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Moodle</a> Academy yesterday went well. One of the things that came from it was an interest in the freely available banks of questions that ship with it in Moodle mbz backup files. These are from the HELM project (Helping Engineers Learn Maths?) and cover a very wide range of concepts you can get instant student access to a course with the contents from here. <a href="https://examulator.com/stack/local/invitation/join.php?courseid=4&id=163034bb-c6a5-45a4-b9b4-a0829cf16a17" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://examulator.com/stack/local/invitation/join.php?courseid=4&id=163034bb-c6a5-45a4-b9b4-a0829cf16a17</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/stackmaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stackmaths</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/edtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edtech</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#math</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a>

I had idly thought that it would be good to have an automated way of giving inputs and prts “sensible names”, i.e. instead of ans1, ans2 etc I could rename the input fields with things like width, area and have all references updated appropriately. It turns out that the feature already exists under the menu Tidy inputs and PRT’s, wonderful!<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/mathematics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mathematics</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/math" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#math</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/edtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#edtech</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#education</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/stackmaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stackmaths</a>

Because STACk is complex (and very powerful) this should give people a head start when authoring questions. I have been working with STACK solidly for several months now and its power and flexibility are amazing.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/stackmaths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stackmaths</a>
