System for Teaching and Assessment using a Computer algebra Kernel has been developed by Christopher Sangwin (ex. Birmingham University now Loughborough University) and integrated as a Moodle question type by Tim Hunt at the OU. It uses the features of the Maxima computer algebra system to support the setting of questions with a mathematical basis and the analysis of responses that are provided in the form of numbers and functions.
A large set of example STACK questions are available on the main STACK site at http://stack.bham.ac.uk.
When writing mathematics in a STACK question please note the following:
Following this convention enables us to share STACK questions with non-OU sites.
To learn more please use the standard STACK documentation which can be found here http://stack.bham.ac.uk.
STACK uses a specially configured Maxima environment and the STACK documentation details how to configure your desktop version of Maxima to work in this environment. You will need a copy of the configuration file maxima.mac.
