Lesson 5: Using graphical/drawing elements

• Lesson 5 Recording

pl-graph

Example 1:

Create a question with a decision tree. Think about ways to create dynamic versions of the question. You can use pl-figure to load images, but here we want to explore the use of pl-graph (check the documentation).

Example 2:

Write a question that provides the outgoing links from a set of websites and use the PageRank algorithm to determine the most popular website.

Your question should provide the Google Matrix in the form of a graph like the cartoon above. Use pl-graph to display the Google Matrix.

pl-drawing

Example 3:

Write a question that uses the drawing canvas to collect input from student. Take a look at the pl-drawing documentation before you start writing questions.

In this example, ask students to add a vector providing the position and direction.

Example 4:

Add a shape to the drawing canvas, and ask students to mark the centroid using a point (pl-point). You can use the pre-defined shapes pl-circle, pl-triangle, pl-rectanle or create a polygon using pl-polygon.
