What else can Möbius do when it comes to asking STEM questions?
MÖBIUS QUESTION TYPES AND SUB-TYPES
Author limitless questions for any area of STEM using 15 different question types, associated sub-types, powerful algorithms, and highly customizable question properties, all from inside a simplified interface.
With Möbius, instructors can draw from thousands of pre-built questions and configure them using a wide variety of user-friendly options nested inside an unrivaled and bottomless question creation framework. From there, instructors can trust in a powerful, customizable, and automatic grading system; even encompassing open-ended questions and partial grading. Students will also feel more engaged with Möbius’ instant feedback, interactive questions, and adaptive hints. Once you’ve built the perfect assessment, show it off! Questions can be shared between instructors and content creators, allowing for boundless collaboration.

HOW CAN I USE MÖBIUS FOR MY STEM QUESTIONS?
MAPLE-GRADED
Harness the computational power of the MapleTM math engine which includes facilities for algebra, calculus, differential equations, discrete mathematics, statistics, numerical computation, and many other areas of STEM.
Pull sophisticated and professionally authored Maple-graded questions from the Möbius Content Templates to use out of the box or modify to suit your class.
MATH APP
Take advantage of the interactive capabilities and sophisticated grading code of Math App worksheets.
This question acts as a type of specialized calculator for all areas of STEM where students can manipulate different components on the Math App worksheet such as moving sliders, rotating dials, or dragging elements to either submit its final state as their response or use it simply for ungraded exploration and discovery.
HTML
Elevate your question authoring with HTML questions by incorporating material from other STEM content sources and morphing it using Möbius into a question that can then be graded.
Additionally, author highly interactive and elaborate questions from scratch using the limitless capabilities of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code.

Test your students’ ability to identify visual elements by clicking on image hotspots overlaid on an image of your choice.
Gain insights into your students’ thought processes by viewing the offline portion of their response.
- Upload tools within Möbius permit students to submit a range of document files alongside the rest of their online attempt
- You can decide to grade the student’s document or just use it to understand their approach to a question
Grade students’ long answer responses, mathematical proofs, or other types of longform responses that students can create using a range of formatting tools including the ability to insert mathematical notation.
- Grading a long answer response is easy with the ability to insert comments right inside of the essay response, apply word limits, and highlight keywords
Ask your students to draw free body diagrams to demonstrate their understanding of forces, angles, and control points when it comes to ramps, pulleys, carts, trusses, bridges, waves, mechanics, atoms and chemistry, astronomy, and other static or dynamic problems.
Create a classic fill-in-the-blank style question with two input modes that you can choose from: a drop-down menu or a text entry field.
Have your students associate text, images, or math elements from one list with the elements of another, with the order of the matching options shuffled each time the question is asked.
Assess your students’ abilities easily when it comes to inputting mathematical expressions or equations as well as chemical equations using the 10 sub-types of the mathematical formula question.
- Natural math notation is used alongside an easy-to-use Equation Editor to simplify input for both you and your students
- Accommodate a range of student responses with an impressive answer-equivalence checker
Lean on this dependable question type to evaluate your students’ abilities to discern the right answer from the wrong ones where multiple choice options can be composed of text, math, images, videos, audio clips, and more.
- You can then take this classic question type and really challenge your students’ understanding by allowing them to select more than one correct answer, and randomizing the display order of the answer options each time they view the question
- Promote a truly educational experience by customizing the feedback for each answer option so that your students will always receive insights regardless of their selection
Require your students to provide a numeric value and optionally specify that a unit of measure is to be included.
- Built-in Möbius libraries accept physical units of measure and equivalents from the SI/Metric, Imperial, and US Customary unit systems
- Be specific in the accepted notation styles for student responses relating to the thousands separator, the dollar sign, scientific notation, and the ability for students to respond with arithmetic
- Easily control the grading tolerance of student responses by choosing to require absolute accuracy, a set number of significant figures, a percentage tolerance, and more
Use the sketch response area to evaluate your students’ curve sketching skills when it comes to plotting aspects such as parabolas, exponentials, asymptotes, lines, points, piecewise functions, open and closed intervals, regions, and more.
- You and your students can plot curves using a simple and customizable point-and-click Sketch Board that supports click-and-drag functionality, allowing plotted points and curves to be relocated as needed
- The ability for you as the instructor to draw background curves and ask your students to perform tasks relating to that pre-drawn curve really adds to the advantages of this question type
Include a sorting question where students can click-and-drag items to rearrange them into the correct order.
- The sortable objects can be text, images, HTML, symbolic math, and more, and you have full control over the size, color, and number of objects to be sorted
Test your students’ understanding with a traditional true or false question featuring two radio buttons for the choices “True” and “False”.

algorithmic and
adaptive forms to truly
make your STEM
questions limitless!
Adaptive Questions
Navigate your students through supported learning by intelligently identifying their level of comprehension and expertise. Möbius reacts to the student’s responses and then guides the student through different question paths such as:
- A simpler version of the question
- A step-by-step guide of how to solve the problem
- And other pedagogical paths!
Algorithmic Questions
Never ask the same question twice by converting your static questions into algorithmic questions using the Möbius math engine and a huge library of built-in algorithmic commands.
- Author a question once with an algorithm that Möbius then uses to generate a bottomless bank of question variations based on the algorithmic parameters that you define
- Prevent answer sharing between students while ensuring that your students understand the educational concept instead of just memorizing the correct answers
- There’s no need to be a programmer when you can optionally work from a friendly point-and-click interface to build your algorithm!
