You can author a Math App question to use grading code that you define within Möbius's Question Editor to grade student responses to Math App questions.

This help topic shows you how to:

  • Create a basic Math App using the Maple software program; and

    DocumentTools:-Do(%Plot0=plot(x^2+%Slider0*x+4, x=-5..5, y=-5..10));

  5. Click the save icon and then exit the Component Code Editor.

  6. Save your Maple document with the .mw file extension.
