Hi I am new to Maple (just 3 days!) and am working my way around the Maple TA that allows one to author questions. (that's what i am aiming to do - author questions!) These questions need the use of components as well as the DocumentTools package. So far, I have been able to insert some basic components such as textbox, listbox and sliders (though have not changed their values programatically - not yet anyway!) some questions at the end of my first session: (a) what is a math container? what are the uses? how can i define one? from what i can see, some of these containers have names like eqm1 and others have names like mathcontainer0. yet others have names like user_response_0 (this seems to be a variable where the learner can write his answer) (b) what is a student input palette? i assume this is some form of user input validation (c) at a more generic level, what is the maplets package? how can it be used in conjunction with the documenttools package to create questions? any help/ advice will be really welcomed! thanks, fellas :-) sudarshan ps: you can also email me at erodish333@hotmail.com - i would be glad to share the mw file i am talking about
