[edit] Schools to which this project belongs
[edit] Current activities
- April 2007: most activity is over at the MediaWiki talk page for the quiz extension, where we are discussing the development of the quiz extension.
- Late April 2007: discussion has started a lot on this Wikiversity now and is currently centered on the talk page for quiz extension documentation.
- There is now a mobile phone program (Occleve) which can download and run quizzes offline. A forthcoming release of the software will enable new questions to be added offline on the phone, and uploaded back to Wikiversity, subject to safeguards. Please see Quiz/Mobile phone software for details.
[edit] Reference materials
[edit] Learning materials
- Help:Quiz -- documentation for the quiz extension (full).

[edit] Quizzes
This section will list pages with quizzes on them. To ensure maximum possible coverage of quizzes, it might be helpful if the quiz extension automatically included a [[Category:quiz]] element in any pages using the quiz extension.

- Ryan Lane's memorize extension offers an elegant (but not yet implemented?) pair matching widget for MediaWiki. To see it at its best:
- Go to http://www.movethefloor.com/sandbox/Memorizable
- Click "memorize".
- Then click "matching mode", which is perhaps the best mode.
