We describe an online dynamic examination application plugin named “ODES”, developed according to the open-source software philosophy, and installed in WordPress. There exist two types of users: admin/teachers that can create/edit questions and examination papers, and students. The questions are divided into two types, multiple-choice and long answer questions (essays). The selection is done randomly by the application and the teacher just determines the total number of questions as well as the importance (weight) of each one of them (including negative grades also). The student takes the randomly generated exam and automatically receives his grades.
