Random parameters
Reading time: 1minAnother notable feature of WirisQuizzes is generating random questions. This means we can write a general question with different data each time the question is opened. Considering the previous example, we'll make part of the question random in the animation below.
You can define and manage random variables in WirisQuizzes. We do this in the WirisQuizzes Studio Interface. In fact, this is where most of the work is done in WirisQuizzes. Here, we define a random length and the other side of the triangle correspondingly. Then we modify the correct answer using the new variable as part of the formula.
Caution
If you used CalcMe (the Computer-Assisted System (CAS) for algebraic manipulation and variables generation) before, you might have noticed some differences with previous versions. You can see further details about the new procedure to define variables here.
On the other hand, as a brand new feature for WirisQuizzes 4.6, we have included the possibility of generating basic random variables without accessing CalcMe. You can see more details here.
Finally, we insert these variables into the question statement. If two different students view the question, we can confirm that the values have changed. Since the values change, the solution is naturally other for each case.
