Overview

About

Maintained by Michael BückerFirst published 2026-04-291 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Utilities for exporting exercises from 'R/exams' to question pools for the learning management system 'ILIAS'. The package implements a Question and Test Interoperability 1.2 rendering path tailored to 'ILIAS' and writes the question-pool XML layout validated for imports in 'ILIAS' 9.17. Supported exercise types include single-choice, multiple-choice, numeric, string, and combined gap questions. The underlying 'R/exams' framework is described in Zeileis, Umlauf, and Leisch (2014) doi:10.18637/jss.v058.i01.
