The new Multi parameter allows you to create multiple choice questions that randomise the order of the answers. This means that your multiple choice question can have answers and distractors that vary due to the parameters used AND the correct … Continue reading →

Char parameters allow you to quickly define a list of characters that can then be accessed randomly when regenerating Char parameters are defined using the char command. $p=char(start character, end character) Examples: $p=char(A,Z)                   … Continue reading →
