Creating Exercises and Tools
############################
The format for edX problems is based on the `LONCAPA XML format`_,
although the two are not quite compatible. In the edX variant, problems are
composed of four types of tags:
Use the chapters in this section to understand how to create exercises and
tools in your course.
* **inputtypes** are similar to XBlocks. They define ways for users to enter
input into the problem.
* **responsetypes** are graders. They define how inputs are mapped to grades.
* **hinters** are used to provide feedback to problems.
* Standard HTML tags are used for formatting.
For information on how to develop your course content in the Studio Outline
page, see :ref:`Developing Your Course Index`.
OLX is designed to allow mixing-and-matching of inputtypes,
responsetypes, and hinters. For example, a numerical grader could match
7+-0.1%. It would be okay to use this with any inputtype which output a number,
whether this was a text box, equation input, slider, or multiple choice
question. In practice, this doesn't always work. For example, in the former
case, a multiple choice question would not give an output in a format a
numerical grader could handle.
For information on building specific course component types, see :ref:`Creating
Course Content Index`.
In addition, in many cases, there is a 1:1 mapping between graders and inputs.
For some types of inputs (especially discipline-specific specialized ones), it
simply does not make sense to have more than one grader.
The most general grader is ``customresponse``. This uses Python code
to evaluate the input. By design, this ought to work with any inputtype,
although there are bugs mixing this with a small number of the newer
inputtypes.
Like LON-CAPA, OLX allows embedding of code to generate parameterized problems.
Unlike LON-CAPA, edX supports Python (and not Perl). Otherwise, the syntax is
approximately identical.
