Javascript quiz library

AQuiz

AQuiz is a simple JavaScript library for small tests or quizzes.

It is intended for integration with server-side test generator such as EGE but can also be used locally with hand-prepared test files.

Dependencies

• JQuery (http://jquery.com)
• JQuery UI (http://jqueryui.com)
• JQuery inherit plugin
• JQuery localize plugin

Installation

1. Clone the repository.
2. Put dependencies into the same directory (or modify links in quiz.xhtml).
3. Copy config.sample.js to config.js, modify as required.
4. (Optionally) configure your browser to allow local file access.

To test, run firefox quiz.xhtml?url=test.quiz

Integration

Configuration file config.js must define quiz_init function which should initialize a Quiz object passed to it. Simplest way to do that is by calling load function with some URL pointing to server-side automated testing system. You can also call setQuestionsJSON directly.

If configuration also defines quiz_submit_url function, Submit button will be displayed in the UI. Pressing this button will generate a POST request to the URL returned by quiz_submit_url. The request will contain a single JSON array parameter answers. Each array element will be either student's answer to a quiz question or null if the question was not answered.

Features

• Single choice questions (pick a single correct answer)
• Multiple choice questions (pick all correct answers)
• Direct input questions (enter answer as number/word)
• Ordering questions (arrange options in connect order)
• Matching questions (match entities into categories)
• Optional built-in self-check

Quiz format

A quiz is a JSON file containing an array of questions. Each question is an object with the following keys:

• "type": question type, must be one of "sc", "mc", "di", "sr", "mt", "cn";
• "text": question text;
• "variants": answer options/choices;
• "answer": optional answer given by student;
• "correct": optional correct answer.
• "langs": optional list of available programming languages.
