1.1 Working with Numworx

Numworx allows you to take formative and summative exams containing MCS (Maths, Calculus, Statistics) features. It also allows you to give students access to digital assignments and practice materials.

A few preparatory steps are needed when you want you and your students to work with Numworx. For the general planning, click here.

1.2 Numworx in general

Numworx makes use of two environments: the Numworx Author application and the webbrowser Numworx Webapp. Questions and exams can be created using the Author environment. The Webapp environment is used to plan and take the exams, and to provide students with the results.

Application environment (Numworx Author):

• Can be downloaded in the Software Center.
• No access to UU-laptop/working space? Download the portable version here.
• Developing new and editing existing modules and activities.

Online environment (Numworx Webapp)

• Log in via Numworx (uu.nl)
• Importing data from Osiris by the Key-user.
• Overview of modules and classes linked to the modules.
• Planning a (practice) test.
• Viewing and retrieving results from students.
• Students will take their (practice) test from this environment.

Attention! It can happen that the UU log-in screen is not shown correctly after starting up Numworx. The cause for this is that other applications are open that have varying resolutions. This can be solved by minimalizing and then maximizing Numworx, or vice versa.

1.3 Map structure

Numworx works with maps, modules and activities.

2.1 Creating and transferring modules and activities

Personal folder

Every teacher has a personal folder in Numworx Author, in which modules and activities can be created and/or edited. You can place an activity in the desired module and course folder when it is to your satisfaction. Modules in the course folder are created by the key-user, based on data in Osiris.

• Creating a module
• Creating an activity
• Creating an activity from the item bank

Attention! Only move activities from the personal folder to the module (in the correct course folder) which has been created with an import from Osiris. Course folders and modules are imported by the key-user to ensure an uncluttered folder structure and automatic importing from Osiris.

2.2 Filling an activity and editing activity settings

• Inserting answer boxes – Example: formula answer box with steps
• Editing activity settings

2.3 Editing existing activities

• Editing existing activities

3.1 Planning a test

3.2 Checking an exam

• Sealing and checking an activity

4.1 Retrieving student results
