This page explains how you, as an author of MUMIE content (i.e. as a WebMiau user), can prepare problems for the
problem pool and assemble worksheets in the pool browser.

Best practice for creating problems (in WebMiau)

• Use a meaningful name for the \name{} command in a problem's meta information.
  It is used to display the problem in lists. Therefore, try to avoid names like "Task 1" etc.
• If the problem is available in several languages, use the \lang{}{} command for the individual languages.
• Problems in the problem pool should be usable stand-alone. Therefore, avoid references to other
  articles or problems, as these may not be available on the problem pool server.
  Links to external pages are not a problem.
• Tag the problem with different labels/taxonomies so that it can be found more easily
  in the pool browser.

Publishing the problem to the pool server

To do this, use the Publish button in WebMiau and select the pool server. If it is not yet listed in the server
list, you first need to set it up. How to do this is explained here.

Note that only tasks located in WebMiau in a subdirectory of pool will appear in the pool browser.

Pool browser with login

You probably already know the interface and functionalities of the pool browser as the
Problem Selector used when creating a MUMIE task.
As a WebMiau user, however, you have additional options, which are explained below.
For the general functionalities, such as filtering the list, please see
Problem Selector.

Login

Go to https://pool.mumie.net/pool/browser and log in with your WebMiau account. To do this, click
Login in the top right corner.

After logging in, you will see a list of all tasks available in the problem pool.

Language setting

The problem pool is available in several languages. To change the display language, click the globe icon next to
the Login button in the top right corner and select the desired language.

Searching for tasks

On the left-hand side there are various filters that help you search for specific tasks. For example, you can
enter a search term to limit the list to tasks whose name contains that term.

Trying out tasks

If you click on a task in the list of displayed tasks, you will see (the latest version of) the
task and can try it out directly.
However, for a quick impression of a task, we recommend looking at the preview instead, which you can find via the
popup menu (click the three dots on the right).

Editing tasks

For each pool task, the popup menu (click the three dots on the right) has a sub-item Edit in WebMiau.
This takes you to the tex file of the task (provided you have read permission for it), where you can directly fix
any errors in the task statement or correction (provided you have write permission for the file).

Creating worksheets and adding them to an LMS course

Several problems can be embedded into your local LMS, such as Moodle, as a single MUMIE task. To do this, a
worksheet must be created containing these problems.
Such a worksheet also allows you to configure the workflow regarding how students work on it and how it is
corrected.

In contrast, the workflow for stand-alone problems from the pool is fixed, namely:

• Correction always happens immediately when students save their answers.
• Students cannot generate new data for themselves.
• Students cannot view the correction view.

Of course, you can also create a worksheet with just a single problem.

Adding tasks to a worksheet

Step	Description
1	If you want to add a problem to a worksheet, click ⋮ on the right-hand side and select Add to worksheet in the popup menu that opens. The worksheet icon in the top bar shows you that the number of problems in the current worksheet has increased.
2	Repeat this process for further problems if needed.
3	Click the worksheet icon in the top bar. A form opens. Enter the title of the worksheet and the scores of the tasks.
4	Fill in all required names for the worksheet and make any further changes if desired (details below)
5	Click Next and review your settings before finally completing the creation process by clicking Save.
6	Import the worksheet into your local LMS (Moodle). Important: Enter the total score of the worksheet on the LMS side.

Note: A task (problem) can consist of several sub-tasks with corresponding answer fields.
By default, the task's score is distributed equally among the sub-tasks. However, the scoring can be changed as
desired in the source code, i.e. with the authoring tool WebMiau, using the \score{} command.

Example: A task has a maximum score of 3 and contains 2 sub-tasks. If we set \score{2} in the answer field of the
first sub-task and do not specify a score in the answer field of the second sub-task, the first sub-task receives
2 points and the second only 1 point, since the default value \score{1} is used for the second sub-task.

Caution: At present, worksheets, once created, can no longer be modified or deleted.

Note: You can also start with a copy of an existing worksheet by adopting the properties from an
existing worksheet. This carries over the problems it contains and the workflow of the
existing worksheet.

Setting worksheet properties

Templates are available on the left-hand side for easily setting the workflow. However, the workflow can also be
configured individually, as described in the following table.
