rqti (development version)

rqti 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2025-03-05

New features

  • Major API Refactor: The API functionality has been refactored to require creating an Opal object for establishing a connection. Methods are now called on this object for interacting with the LMS API, replacing the previous function-based approach.

  • Added a verify_qti() function to validate XML documents against the QTI v2.1 schema. Two schema versions are supported: the original IMS Global schema and an extended version that permits additional HTML tags.

  • Added new constructor functions assessmentTest(), assessmentTestOpal(), assessmentSection().

  • The default values of the “academic_grading” parameter/slot have been updated in the functions assessmentTest(), assessmentTestOpal(), test(), and in the classes AssessmentTest and AssessmentTestOpal. This parameter/slot is a named numeric vector that defines the grade table shown to candidates as feedback at the end of the test. The updated default follows the German grading system: gt <- c(“1.0” = 0.95, “1.3” = 0.9, “1.7” = 0.85, “2.0” = 0.8, “2.3” = 0.75, “2.7” = 0.7, “3.0” = 0.65, “3.3” = 0.6, “3.7” = 0.55, “4.0” = 0.5, “5.0” = 0), where each grade corresponds to the minimum percentage score required to achieve it. To disable the grading table at the end of the test, set this parameter to NA_real_.

  • Generic functions are now exported to allow advanced users to extend the functionality of S4 classes (createItemBody(), createResponseDeclaration(), createOutcomeDeclaration(), createResponseProcessing(), createText()).

  • Added support for the preview_feedback option within ‘params’ in the YAML section of R Markdown files.

  • Renamed the service name in the keyring system credential storage to “rqtiopal”.

  • Renamed the “contributor” slot in QtiContributor to ‘name’.

Improvements

  • QTIJS rendering (DirectedPair type, round Score and Maxscore values).

  • Added a ‘<div>’ tag as a root child within the ‘itemBody’ element for Entry type tasks to ensure compatibility with the LMS OpenOlat.

  • The functions qti_metadata() and qti_contributor() have been deprecated. Use qtiMetadata() and qtiContributor() instead.

  • The ‘question_type’ column has been removed from the data frame returned by extract_result(level = "item").
