Calculated questions offer a way to create numerical questions with individualized, variable answers by using wildcards or variables (e.g., {x} or {y}) that are replaced by distributed, randomized values when the quiz is taken.

For example, if you want each student to see a differently valued "Calculate the area of a rectangle" problem, you can create a question with two wildcards (i.e. {base}, {height}) and put in the "Correct Answer Formula=" input field {base} * {height} ( * being the multiplication sign ). AsULearn will then base scoring of each student's answer for the question on the values he or she received when taking the quiz. Registration Link
