We’ve just updated the Numbas editor with a “Licence” field on both questions and exams, which lets you specify the licence under which you allow other people\u00a0to use your work. To begin with, you can pick from “All rights reserved” or any of the Creative Commons licences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When you search for questions or exams, you can filter the results by what you’re allowed to do with them – freely reuse, modify, or reuse commercially. If you apply any of these filters, content with no licence specified will be excluded, so\u00a0please make sure you specify a licence for your material!<\/p>\n

Happily, everything produced at Newcastle University and uploaded to the math<\/strong>centre Numbas editor<\/a> is available under a CC BY (free to reuse with attribution) licence.<\/p>\n

Note that these licences aren’t enforced by the software – they’re just there to help people do the right thing when compiling open-access resources. If you\u00a0don’t want your material to be publicly available, the solution is still to use the access controls to make\u00a0your questions and exams\u00a0hidden by default.<\/p>\n

Since I’m here, I’ll do a general development log as well.<\/p>\n

In case you missed them, two big new features are the variable testing tools<\/a>\u00a0and the matrix entry part<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Other changes<\/h3>\n
