Description
Summary:In this paper we introduce an example of using free open-source software solutions to create and grade personalized exams in probability and statistics. The statistical computing software R and the exams package is used together with Moodle, leading open-source learning management system. At the moment we use spreadsheets to store the text of the exercises and choose randomly amongst those. As a result our students face different stories (text), different numbers and potentially different questions but very similar structures. Results of the midterms on average are very similar to the previous paper and pencil results and students like the immediate feedback.
