The R package exams2forms provides several building blocks for embedding exercises written with R/exams (https://www.R-exams.org/) in interactive documents or quizzes written with rmarkdown or quarto.
The idea is that the dynamic exercises in R/exams’ Rmd (R/Markdown) or Rnw (R/LaTeX) format can also be reused in HTML documents, web pages, or online books. This facilitates their use for self-paced learning and self-assessment without the need for a learning management system etc. (By default the correct answers are obfuscated in the documents so that they are not obvious when inspecting the HTML source code.) And for (summative) assessments the same dynamic exercises could then be exported to different learning management systems or employed in written exams.
All R/exams exercise types are supported:
Many of the ideas as well as the code in the package have been adapted from the webexercises package, authored by Dale Barr and Lisa DeBruine.
An introductory tutorial is hosted on the R/exams website at: https://www.R-exams.org/tutorials/exams2forms/
