For some time WIRIS suite has offered tools to support education in mathematics and science topics in Moodle, the Open Source LMS. So far these solutions offered a formula editor based on icons and pallets, plus a powerful platform for mathematical calculation called WIRIS CAS. We want to present the new WIRIS family member, called Quizzes, that integrates the powerful WIRIS mathematical calculation engine of with Moodle quizzes system.

WIRIS Quizzes allows users to incorporate to all Moodle questions mathematical elements generated at random. In addition, the response can be assessed automatically by the engine of mathematical calculation no matter it has open answer or multiple-choice answers.
