Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents the technical aspects of a project for teaching improvement based on R-QUEST, an e-learning tool
that helps groups of students learn the statistical package R in an autonomous manner. As a learning tool, R-QUEST
allows the achievement of cooperative and collaborative work using e-learning methodologies. Self-assessment is an
important part of R-QUEST; it is based on a set of lessons and quizzes written in LaTeX and transformed into GIFT
language in order to make them as usable and standard as possible. The programming language used to transform the
quizzes form LaTeX into GIFT is python. Then the set of quizzes in GIFT format is imported to the Moodle Educational
Platform, where they are made available to the students. |
