Question in Ed's workspace
Show one of several blocks of text depending on the value of a question variable.
As well as a simple check for the value of a variable, the condition to display a block of text can be a complex expression in any of the question variables - in this example, depending on the discriminant of the generated quadratic.

Question in Julia Goedecke's contributions
Student finds a basis for kernel and image of a matrix transformation. Any basis can be entered; there is a custom marking algorithm which checks if it is a correct basis.
There are options to adjust this question fairly easily, for example to get different variants for practice and for a test, by changing the options in the "pivot columns" in the variables. You should be careful to think about and test your pivot options, as some are easier or harder than others, and some don't work very well.

Question in Julia Goedecke's contributions
Educational calculation tool rather than "question".
This allows the student to input a linear system in augmented matrix form (max rows 5, but any number of variables). Then the student can decide to swap some rows, or multiply some rows, or add multiples of one row to other rows. The student only has to input what operation should be performed, and this is automatically applied to the system. This question has no marks and no feedback as it's just meant as a "calculator".
It has some rounding to 13 decimal places, as otherwise some fraction calculations become incorrectly displayed as a very small number instead of 0.
It would be possible to extend to more than 5 rows, one just has to put in a lot more variables and so on. I just had to choose some place to stop.

Question in Julia Goedecke's contributions
Educational calculation tool rather than "question".
This allows the student to input a square matrix (max rows 5). Then the student can decide to swap some rows, or multiply some rows, or add multiples of one row to other rows. The student only has to input what operation should be performed, and this is automatically applied to the matrix and the identity matrix (or what it has got to). This question has no marks and no feedback as it's just meant as a "calculator". It has some checks in so students know when they are not entering a square matrix or a valid row number etc.

Question in Louise's workspace
Create a truth table for a logical expression of the form $((a \operatorname{op1} b) \operatorname{op2}(c \operatorname{op3} d))\operatorname{op4}(e \operatorname{op5} f) $ where each of $a, \;b,\;c,\;d,\;e,\;f$ can be one the Boolean variables $p,\;q,\;\neg p,\;\neg q$ and each of $\operatorname{op1},\;\operatorname{op2},\;\operatorname{op3},\;\operatorname{op4},\;\operatorname{op5}$ one of $\lor,\;\land,\;\to$.

Question in Linear Algebra 1st year
In this demo question, you can see either 2 or 3 gaps depending on the variable \(m\), and the marking algorithm doesn't penalise for the empty third gap in cases when it is not shown.
Reason to use it: for vectors or matrices containing only numbers, one can easily use matrix entry to account for a random size of an answer. But this does not work for mathematical expressions. There we have to give each entry of the vector as a separate gap, which then becomes a problem when the size varies. This solves that problem. For this reason I've included two parts: one very simple one that just shows the phenomenon of variable number of gaps, and one which is more like why I needed it.
Note that to resolve the fact that when \(m=2\), the point for the third gap cannot be earned, I have made it so that the student only gets 0 or all points, when all shown gaps are correctly filled in.
Note the use of Ax[m-1] in the third gap "correct answer" of part b): if you use Ax[2], then it will throw an error when m=2, as then Ax won't have the correct size. So even though the marking algorithm will ignore it, the question would still not work.
Bonus demo if you look in the variables: A way to automatically generate the correct latex code for \(\var{latexAx}\), since it's a variable size. I would usually need that in the "Advice", i.e. solutions, rather than the question text.

Question in Linear Algebra 1st year
Finding a matrix from a formula for each entry, which involves the row and column numbers of that entry. Not randomized because it's the same as in our workbook. But the variables are made in a way that it should be easy to randomise the size of the matrix, and the to change the formula for the input in not too many places.

Question in Linear Algebra 1st year
Solving a system of three linear equations in 3 unknowns using Gaussian Elimination (or Gauss-Jordan algorithm) in 5 stages. Solutions are all integers. Set up so that sometimes it has infinitely many solutions (one free variable), sometimes unique solution. Scaffolded so meant for formative. The variable d determines the cases (d=1: unique solution, d-0: infinitely many solutions). The other variables are set up so that no entries become zero for some randomisations but not others.
