rqti (development version)

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().

  • 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’.
