Mathematics
From MoodleDocs
Tools which may be of interest to those teaching mathematics:
- The TeX filter, which allows TeX markup to be inserted anywhere (e.g. quiz questions, discussion messages, text resources)
- The JsMath filter, which does a similar job but using Javascript on the user's computer
- Calculated question type
- DragMath equation editor, a WYSIWYG equation editor that integrates easily with the Moodle HTML editor.
Mathematics teachers may also be interested to follow the work of York University Maths department, who are working on some projects to augment Moodle, particularly its Quiz module for online assessment, for example by integrating a system which is able to mark algebraic and trigonometric answers to open-ended questions.
