Abstract
MVGEN is a multi-version question generation tool that allows creating multiple-choice questions with a large number of versions and multi-version tests using different randomisation techniques. These techniques include simple randomisation through shuffling of lists with keys and distractors or random selection of options from lists with several keys and distractors, but also more complex randomisation of parameters and variables using association tables. In this chapter, examples of multiple-choice questions in higher education mathematics are presented, and the design and randomisation techniques are explained.
