• RE: How to use Quaternions in Mobius?

Hi Nico,

Firstly, thanks for the effort in designing the nice questions! I would like to ask about +Quaterions_Rotation question, because of normalizing $k to get$u, the answer that the students need to enter is a decimal approximation. Are you looking to make that exact, or will you add tolerance so the student just enters correct to a number of decimal places?

I think the exact answers make more sense, so I would suggest putting certain variables in quotation marks or evaluating them using maple calls:

$length='sqrt($kx^2+$ky^2+$kz^2)';....
$angle='$angledeg*Pi/180';

As a starting point, I would recommend substitution of the students response into the DE. Obviously that would confirm that the student provided a solution, but won't check for the existence of the arbitrary integration constant. To do that the indets($RESPONSE, name) command will check for C (assuming that your students always use C to denote the integration constant). is(diff($RESPONSE, x)+$RESPONSE+$RESPONSE*(x^n)=0) and evalb(indets($RESPONSE, name) = {C, n, x})  posted in Question Creation • RE: Displaying unsimplified expressions The Display command uses the Typesetting package native to Maple Document mode. However since Möbius is a web app, everything needs to be converted into MathML (or LaTeX or similar) to be supported by the browsers. The closest I can think of (with this method) is the following:$a=maple("use InertForm:-NoSimpl in a:=2(3*x) end use; printf(InertForm:-ToMathML(a));");

But I don't know if that will generalize well to the rest of your problem.

Hi @danr

These settings will do what you want - Proctored Exam+Proctor Sign-in to Start restricts users from accessing the test unless they are authorized. If a Password is set, then users who know the Password can then authorize themselves and access the test.

Do your tutors have the Student role or the Instructor Role? If they have the Instructor role they should not need you to set the password, as they can Authorize themselves.

There may be more options, depending on your product version and how you integrate with Mobius. For more specific advice I would suggest contacting support@digitaled.com

• RE: Significant figures

Hi cmcneile,

One solution to this would be to hold the answer in a variable. For example to calculate power = energy/time we could use variables such that $P =$E/$T. In the response area (assuming you are using numeric) you can then set "Required with" to "absolute accuracy". If you are using randomisation such that$P would be to more than two significant figures you can use the command "decimal(n,x)" in the algorithm section where x is the input and n is the number of decimal places. In this case it would be decimal(2,\$P).

Hope this helps.

• RE: H5p elements integrated in HTML5 question

Hi Meta,

It seems that they have an iframe embedder feature, so it's pretty much copy-paste of their source code into source code of a Mobius question. I've attached a TA question with one of their demos as an example: Example.zip

Cheers,
Anatoly

• RE: Grading equations in a specific form

@mrs.sarah.chan

Hi!

If you're comfortable with Maple programming language, you can try 'inert form'. It will allow you to grade student response in its original form, without simplifications. Click here for an example.

Alternatively, you can convert the response to "string" and use string tools to check if the expression contains (the right number of) brackets, this should allow you to identify the expression type. I'm thinking alongs the lines of: student answer is equal to the correct answer AND the number of "(" brackets is right.

With regards to "y=" part. It's hard to say without the actual grading code. You could try to pull the the equation apart with use of lhs and rhs commands. For example,  "y= a + b"  would give you "y" and "a+b" respectively. This should allow you to grade equation in two parts without equation comparisons.

When assigning variable names to the equations (Maple syntax) I often forget to use ":", for example: "my_equation = y = a+b" instead of "my_equation := y = a+b". This  leads to similar error messages.

Good luck!

Anatoly

Hi @Steen

I must admit this problem is a little beyond my realm of understanding however the support team at support@digitaled.com should be able to help you with this.

• RE: Way to Add Maple Code to Github?

Maybe someone else here knows the answer, but if your question is about Maple worksheets then I'd also suggest contacting the Maplesoft support team directly at https://www.maplesoft.com/supp...

Or alternatively, the Maple-specific community MaplePrimes may know the answer. They are located at https://www.mapleprimes.com/
