Author: Colin Caprani, [email protected]
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.
genmq
installs as a command into your system.
pip install genmq
