How to embed mathematics, using Latex or asciiMath, into Quiz questions?

I am developing a course on school-level mathematics, and whereas the course materials are videos from PowerPoint, for the quiz questions and MCQ answers I would like to embed the mathematics directly, as can be done in HTML and in WordPress easily. The alternative is long-winded requiring each mathematical expression to be developed, saved as an image and then placed into the question.

I have been looking throughout the site, but no answers anywhere and I would appreciate hearing from other developers of mathematics courses how they have solved this.

Thanks. Dr Roger Layton

I have math courses (calculus, linear algebra, ODE) and I haven't tried to create quizzes. I just create video lectures with exercises in the lecture and offer a solution in the next where I ask the students to solve the problem before moving on to the solution. I know this approach is not very good.

It would be nice if one could use Latex but I don't know if it is possible. I just checked and it doesn't look like latex can be used. Perhaps you could upload images of equations?

Thanks for the response. Images is not an option due to the number of questions and sample responses. Seems that this platform is not extensible to accommodate other components or widgets. This is a pity since it is really good from the user perspective, and I have taken many courses. Let us hope that someone comes up with an answer.

Another option is whether I can link from the course to an external web site where I can put the tests, but I cannot find any information on how to place a link into the course for external web sites.

I would reach out to

I think it is no problem to link to external websites as long as your students are not paying for something on the website however best to ask Udemy just to be sure. I'm just another instructor and not officially from Udemy.
