Forms & quizzes link
Cultura italiana offers effective tools for rapid creation of forms, fitted to various purposes, and quizzes, which have been inspired by this Wikiversity's extension and have further developed for an optimal user experience, and diverge mainly because the submitted data are sent to the provided email address, rather than used to compute a score.
A form can be created through a template like the following:
{{#CI form: title = Contact form | submit = support@culturaitaliana.org | first and last name [] * | email [email] * | your message [textarea] * }}
which produces the following result
where the double square brackets represent an input (if empty the input type is assumed to be 'text' otherwise it can be any of 'password', 'textarea', 'email', 'search', 'tel', 'file', 'number', 'url', 'time', 'date') the asterisk a mandatory field, and the pipe is of course used to separate rows.
But a CI form template (precisely a 'parser function') can be also used to display inputs with placeholders, like the following:
{{#CI form: title = Contact form | submit = support@culturaitaliana.org | [first name] * | [last name] * | [email=email] * }}
(note that the field label is placed with the input symbol itself)
multiple choice questions with arbitrary input fields among answers
{{#CI form: title = Why do you want to learn Italian? | type = multiple choice | list-type = letters | max answers = 2 | I want to work using Italian language | I want to study using Italian language | Cultural interest / personal knowledge | interpersonal relationships [] * | prospective stay in Italy }}
and even Cloze (completion) test with inline suggestions like the following:
{{#CI form: title = Metti i verbi al futuro semplice | type = cloze test | * Vedo, vedo... che tra poco [incontrare=incontrerai] l'uomo della tua vita | Vedo, vedo... che [avere] una grande vincita al gioco | Questa carta mi dice che [vincere] il concorso che hai appena fatto | Quest'altra carta mi dice che [sposarsi] al massimo entro tre anni | Ah, qui vedo che [fare] un viaggio molto interessante | Qui vedo che [andare] ad abitare in un'altra citta' }}
where the asterisk denotes an example answer (conversely than a mandatory field in the 'inputs' type) and the square brackets in each row denote inline suggestions, (conversely than the field type in the 'inputs' type)
Cloze test with framed suggestions like the following
and which finally are flexible enough to allow nested form sections of different kind, like in the following example:
where the form is built using the following model:
{{#CI form: title = Enrollment test | submit = support@culturaitaliana.org | {{#CI form section: type = inputs | first name [] * | last name [] * | email [email] * }} {{#CI form section: ... }} ... [additional 'CI form sections'] }}
