genmq
A Moodle quiz generator using LaTeX and the moodle.sty package with jinja2 templates
Generates Individualized Moodle Quizzes based on a LaTeX Template
Author: Colin Caprani, colin.caprani@monash.edu
Overview
genmq is a python package that performs mail-merge like functionality to generate a Moodle quiz XML file for bulk upload. It uses a template latex file based on the moodle.sty package, and populates placeholder variables with entries from a prepared csv file to generate many variants of the template question. It can include the answers, precision, and feedback; all as described in the documentation for the moodle.sty package.
genmq can also split larger Moodle XML files into multiple files to facilitate uploading when there are file size limits.
