 Maple
T.A.-based Tests and Assignments authoring tool
Maple 10 allows you to create assignments from a variety of question
types using standard mathematical notation. Questions are automatically
graded. Because Maple provides the grading engine, mathematically equivalent
answers that are not identical to the correct answers are judged to be
correct.
Features include:
- Question authoring environment provides templates
for creating common question types, such as fill-in-the-blank,
Maple-graded, and multiple-choice
- Questions can include algorithmically generated
content. A single question definition can produce different instances
of that problem type
- Questions can contain plots, hints, feedback,
and algorithmically-generated variables
- Assignments can be used in Maple for student
practice, printed or exported to Maple
T.A. Once exported to Maple T.A., you have access to all assignment
types and properties, the gradebook, and other Maple T.A. features
This feature does not
require you tohave Maple T.A, as the assignments you create can
be used within Maple. However, when used in conjunction with Maple
T.A., Maple 10 provides a convenient authoring environment for developing
Maple T.A. questions. Maple T.A.
is an automated testing and assessment tool from Maplesoft, and
is available from Adept Scientific - see here
