Generate a lot of questions from an input text file with on your own definitions. In a way, this input file is a concept map.

Asker helps trainers to create a huge amount of questions, from a definitions (conceptual entities) input file.

At first install Ruby and then:

gem install asker-tool

REMEMBER: Update Asker with gem update asker-tool

Let's see an example creating questions from ACDC input example file:

$ asker docs/examples/bands/acdc.haml
