Binary package “wims” in ubuntu trusty
server for educational content: courses, exercises, and exams
The WWW Interactive Multipurpose Server is an educational platform
originally developed for mathematics but now also supporting subjects such
as physics, chemistry, biology, and languages.
.
WIMS features a rich set of resources and exercises either for
autodidactical use or for training classes, including:
.
* exercises with automatic feedback and correction, allowing the
learners to work at their own pace;
* interactive exercises with randomly assigned data, allowing the
learners to work on the same type of exercise but with different
data and as often as they wish;
* exercises with an automatic scoring system, which enhances learner
motivation;
* user-friendly graphics and calculation tools;
* courses and documents with hyperlinks to the exercise pool;
examples in the courses can be made random, so the student can get
more than one instance of an illustration for tricky concepts;
* support for exams with pre-published contents. As each individual
exam will have randomly chosen data, training is possible but
writing each response in advance is not.
.
This package contains the WIMS FastCGI server, serving Open Exercise
Format (OEF) documents. OEF is a very high-level language which
allows authors to focus on pedagogical issues.
