The Wikisoba project is a spin-off of the WMUK Virtual Learning Enviroment, a software development initiative concerned with developing lightweight course management tools.
Mark I tool
The Wikisoba tool authored by Magnus Manske in Javascript is hosted on Wikimedia Labs. It pulls in sections of any fixed MediaWiki site, displaying them in a plain skin; and interleaves them with questions written in GIFT format.
Mark II development plan
For the next step, some new principles are being taken into account.
- The quiz component should move beyond online forms as the only type of input, to include drag-and-drop and clicks on images.
- The range of questions should be much extended.
- The underlying layer of syntax should be JSON, and closely compatible with XML exported from Moodle.
