Authoring quiz questions with Uniqurate

Uniqurate is an easy to use QTI quiz question authoring tool that is currently being developed as part of a JISC funded project. IMS QTI is the Quiz and Test Interoperability standard, an XML based format that allows assessments to be shared between different e-assessment platforms.

Some features include

• compatible with popular Virtual Learning Environments (including Moodle via the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI) plugin)
• randomisation of questions and answers
• multiple-part questions
• regular expressions
• compatible with Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox and Chrome
• compatible with iPads, iPhones and Androids (without drag-and-drop functionality)
• requires you to enter feedback for every answer (both correct answers and distractors)

Uniqurate is being used by the following universities:

• Harper Adams University College
• Strathclyde University
• Kingston University
