Ruql::Olx

This formatter requires ruql and allows formatting RuQL quizzes as OLX or Open Learning XML, a format developed and used by edX for rendering course assets.

Installation

Add to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ruql'
gem 'ruql-olx'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install ruql-olx

Usage

The simplest usage is to change to the root directory of the course export (the directory containing subdirectories chapters, course, etc.) and say ruql olx --chapter 'Chapter Display Name' quizfile.rb

  • for each problem, create drafts/problem/.xml containng ...
  • create a sequential using existing logic; let its uid be UU.xml
  • for each quiz, create drafts/vertical/.xml containing:
  • search for chapters/ .xml file having <chapter display_name="Chapter Display Name"
  • in that file, add as the last child of

The simplest usage is ruql olx --sequential seq.xml quizfile.rb > output.olx.

The OLX representation of all the questions in quizfile.rb will be left in the file output.olx.

The file seq.xml will contain the necessary XML markup for the quiz metadata itself, such as time limit, the fact that it's graded, etc. This XML snippet needs to be copied into the correct file in the appropriate sequentials subdirectory of an edX course export. If the --sequential option is omitted, no such file is created.

Limitations of current version

The time limit is computed as 1 point per minute plus 5 minutes of slop, rounded up to the nearest 5 minutes.

The other metadata items (graded or not, etc.) cannot be customized except by manually editing the seq.xml file.

Normally, RuQL questions that have the same group attribute value are considered a "pool" of questions from which a particular subset are randomly used each time a quiz is generated. The current version of the gem ignores this field and simply outputs all questions in the quizfile.rb.

Development/Contributing

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
