Numbas

Numbas is an open-source system for creating SCORM-compliant exams which run entirely in the browser, developed by Newcastle University's School of Maths and Stats.

Features

How it works

  1. Download and extract Numbas package: contains source files and Python scripts to compile exams.
  2. Write exam: plain text file in a JSON-like format, with Textile/HTML for content markup. Shouldn't be any harder than writing a LaTeX document.
  3. Compile exam: creates directory or zip file containing standalone exam. Ready to run straight-away.
  4. Upload to LMS for session tracking, or run standalone.

Libraries used
