Pattern match question type This question type was created by Jamie Pratt, working for the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk/). Students can enter a response of up to 20 words, which is then graded by matching it against vaious model answers expressed using a sophisticated patten matching algorithm. See http://docs.moodle.org/dev/The_OU_PMatch_algorithm This question type is has been available since Moodle 2.1+. This version is compatible with Moodle 2.5+. You will want to install superscript/subscript editor plugin (see https://github.com/moodleou/moodle-editor_supsub). This makes the superscript and subscript options in the question editing form. If the editor is not installed the question type can still be used but these options will not be available. This question type should be installed like any other Moodle add-on. See http://docs.moodle.org/25/en/Installing_add-ons. To install the question type using git, type this command in the root of your Moodle install git clone git://github.com/moodleou/moodle-qtype_pmatch.git question/type/pmatch echo /question/type/pmatch/ >> .git/info/exclude git clone git://github.com/moodleou/moodle-editor_supsub.git lib/editor/supsub echo /lib/editor/supsub/ >> .git/info/exclude
