Using JSXGraph in Numbas

Abstract

The first half of this talk is a demonstration of software aimed at lecturers and teachers, and the second half is a technical discussion which will be of interest to developers.

Numbas is an open-source e-assessment system designed for mathematical subjects.

There has been an extension for integrating JSXGraph diagrams in Numbas since 2011.

I will demonstrate some applications of JSXGraph in Numbas questions, and share some of my successes and difficulties in using JSXGraph.
