Integrating LaTeX and Moodle Questionnaires
Luis García-Forte, C. Leon-Hernandez, Casiano Rodríguez · 2011
The manufacturing of teaching material conveys the generation of both static (unreactive) data-documents and dynamic (reactive) program- documents based on different technologies. Teaching a subject often im- plies the maintenance of a large number of both types of documents, usu- ally written in a variety of languages and stored in diferent formats. Ergo a natural goal for the lecturer is to minimize the amount of work invested during the development and maintenance of the material. There are ac- ceptable solutions regarding the transformation between formats with the same kind of reactivity. This work discusses the problem of integrating Moodle (a Open Source Learning Management System) and L ATEX (a doc- ument preparation system), proposes a methodology to pursuit this goal and presents a tool to assist in the translation of Moodle Quiz documents to L ATEX.
