Hi Laurie,
Great to hear. In documenting question types in Maths, do you :
1. Only write short answer, numerical and multi choice type questions ?
2. Have any scope for students to show working out to get part marks ? If
so how ?
I want to build a Moodle question bank by exporting the tests/exams from
the class and have a central repository on the Moodle site or the junior
maths site.
There is a form built for uploading Edulists resources - linked from the
top of the home page through " share a resource" . I will promote this more
generally in the next few weeks for all resource uploads.
Speak soon
