In 2012 - 2013 we have provided the following Moodle question types. These were all specified by Phil Butcher and implemented by Jamie Pratt using Tim Hunt's design for question plugins. If you have been following this site carefully you will not be surprised to read that all were already in use in OpenMark (and a rudimentary version of the algorithm behind pattern match was first used at the OU in 1976).
In 2011 - 2012 we were pleased to work closely with Chris Sangwin (then at Birmingham University, now at Loughborough University) to turn his STACK system into a Moodle question type. Saying that STACK is a single question type underplays what it will do. The STACK question type uses the Maxima computer algebra system to add sophisticated assessment in mathematics and related disciplines.
All of the above can be found in the Moodle Plugins database (http://moodle.org/plugins) under Activities | Quiz | Question types. Alternatively go directly to the repositories https://github.com/moodleou and https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack .
