Occasionally, an exercise may need to be done offline. This page can support that by generating Portable Document format (.pdf) files.
The sidebar contains multiple options for customizing the layout of the printed exercise.
Clicking this button will generate a single copy of the exercise with its solutions and render it in the main panel.
EduRITA uses seeded randomization for the order of questions, order of answers, and question parameters. Use the input next to the Preview Exercise button to change the seed for the previewed exercise.
This group of three settings are used to give extra space in the exercise for your students to write. The space is measured in centimeters (cm).
This setting is used to create blank space for a student to write their answers after a question.
This setting is used to create blank space for a student to write their answers after a question part. The space given to questions is in addition to the space given to the last part of a question.
Written Answer Questions are designed for longer answers, so this setting is used to give them more space than other question parts. This space is in addition to the space given to Parts.
This is set to the exercise setting by default. If True, the questions will be in a random order when printing.
This is set to the exercise setting by default. If true, the answers to Multiple Choice, Multiple Selection, Matching, and Categorizing questions will be in a random order when printing.
If true, the exercise and solutions will have a title page giving a brief description of the exercise with a table showing the marks each question is worth.
If selected, the student's name will appear on the title page. This is useful for personalizing exercises when printing multiple, and for knowing which solutions belong to which questions while marking.
This defaults to the name of the exercise.
These details are about the author, university, and department; and will be displayed in the title page. They can be left blank without affecting the layout of the title page. The value of the Author input defaults to the user's name. The University and Department inputs are empty by default
If selected, then the title page will have a table showing the questions and how many marks they are worth. The table also includes a space for the student's mark on each question.
If selected, then the start date and end date will be added to the title page. The value of the inputs in the Include Date section will be used. Their default values are determined by the Start time and Deadline settings.
Provides some space to write a description for the exercise in the title page.
If the Itemize Description setting is selected, the description will appear in a list, and if the Number Items setting is selected, that list will be numbered.
If the title page is not included, a short description can be added to the exercise.
This button in the top right corner will open the modal used to generate the pdf files for the exercise. They will be saved together in a .zip file, containing a folder for exercises, a folder for solutions if they're included, and a csv file with information about the exercises.
If selected, then the solutions for every exercise will be generated. If set to no, then only the questions will be generated.
Should a class list be used to generate the pdf files?
If a list of names is not included, this input is used to decide how many copies of the exercise are made. Each copy has a different seed, and will have different randomly generated values.
Once a .csv file is uploaded containing the class list, a preview of the csv file will appear, as well as an input to select the columns that will be used to create the file names.
If this is true, EduRITA will check for a seed column in the uploaded file, and use that column to set the seeds for the pdf files.
If the column cannot be found or this is set to false, the seeds will be randomly generated.
After everything has been prepared, click this button to generate and download the exercises. There is a loading bar to show the progress as the files are being created.
On browsers based on Chromium (Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, etc…) questions and solutions that are too long will not preview correctly. The application will give a warning when it detects the length of the exercise is close to the limit for this issue.
The LibreWolf browser blocks access to canvas data by default to prevent fingerprinting. The exercise printing feature relies on html2pdf.js, which uses the canvas to generate printable documents, and extracts them to generate the files. In order to use this page on LibreWolf, refer to their FAQ page section about allowing canvas access.
