Compatibility with Learning Management Systems (LMS)
The files generated by the rqti package are fully
compatible with the Opal LMS. Furthermore, adhering to QTI 2.1
specifications, these files are suitable for use in any LMS supporting
QTI 2.1. You can find a list of QTI-compatible LMS platforms here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QTI.
To upload your tasks to an LMS, create a zip archive containing the test and import it into the target LMS.
We have conducted compatibility tests by uploading rqti
zip archives to LMS platforms such as OpenOlat and Canvas. In most
instances, tasks generated by rqti behaved as expected
within these LMS platforms. However, we have identified some
inconsistencies, documented below. Since our files are QTI 2.1
compatible (with verification and automated tests for all exercise
types), issues typically arise from the LMS side.
If you use a different LMS and encounter problems, please open an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/shevandrin/rqti/issues
OpenOlat
The following functionalities are currently non-functional on OpenOlat:
- The parameters
include_lower_boundandinclude_upper_boundin the tolerance customization of numeric gaps are ignored. This is a minor problem since it is usually irrelevant whether the bounds are included or not. Still, we are actively investigating this issue.
Canvas
The following functionalities encounter issues when used on Canvas:
- The
orderexercise type is not supported. - Feedback messages intended to be displayed regardless of answer correctness (modal feedback), do not appear. The investigation is challenging because Canvas seems to export files in QTI 1.2, not 2.1.
- All feedback types for the
essayexercise type are non-functional. - Customization of tolerance for numeric gaps does not work.
- Management of text input length and placeholders is not operational.
- All tables are converted to the
matchtype, rendering only tables with a single possible answer in each row meaningful (one-in-row-table).
