Examples of randexam and byteshelf problems to be converted to PrairieLearn.

MSE206

The randexam-questions directory contains latex files for individual questions; each question may have one or more variants, and also may reference specific images in the images directory. These are multiple choice questions, and need to be converted into JSON versions of MultipleChoice questions. Note also that the directory names cannot have ., so those need to be converted to -.

Examples to be converted:

• ch14.triaxial.tex
• ch17.constraints.tex

This should be done with an automated script, not by hand. Please write a script that

1. Given a source directory (randexm-questions) and a target directory,
2. Converts each tex file in the source directory into a corresponding question in the target directory (with possible variants for each variants) into an info.json file, including correct access lists for images,
3. Copies over images into the directory.

MSE304

The xml files are inputs for ByteShelf. These have been converted by hand into the directories included, which have at least five files:

answer.html
client.js
info.json
question.html
server.js

The primary files that need to be constructed are server.js (which will create the variables for the question and answers); info.json contains information about files that are needed to be accessed. The two HTML files, question.html and answer.html include references to the variables.

Example to be converted:

• LJ_byteshelf.xml

This can be done by hand, but you may want to use a script to do some initial conversion.
