Thank you, Gerard. This is certainly exciting news. As I understand it, Comprende! invokes data from WMF projects such as Wikidata (you match the structure of your questions with Wikidata items) or Commons (you can label Commons images to be used in questions), whereas Quiz lets everything be based on user input. It would certainly be an improvement, but user input should still be in the picture, imho.
By the way, here is a help page on Quiz for those who are not familiar with the extension: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Help:Quiz Feel free to test the questions. The responses are not saved. 2017-04-17 16:04 GMT+03:00 Gerard Meijssen <[email protected]>: > Hoi, > Magnus just blogged about using questions based on Wikidata information... > I do not know the Quiz extension.
