Abstract
The demand and use of automatic test generators for exams and competitions have both been increasing. But the handiness offered by these generators brings a difficulty in the process of creating databanks of questions: from a group of questions their different versions are still made for each question separately. Of course, this manual task turns out to be lengthy and costly. This problem proved to be effectively solved by generators of parametric questions. Our present work introduces an innovative and accessible approach that consists of an open platform to generate and correct parametric questions. To the best of our knowledge the platform presented here is the first one totally devoted to exams in hard copy that also includes automatic correction. Teachers and professors of any institution that registers in our platform can share question databanks among them.
