[Zesje-discuss] New version of zesje

[Anton Akhmerov]

Dear Zesje users,

I would like to announce an important improvement of zesje. The new
version does not require using a custom latex template (or using latex
at all!).

The new workflow is as follows:
1. You prepare your exam using a tool of your choice (I would probably
use the LaTeX's exam.cls) and leave sufficient empty space on the
front page for zesje to add the student number identification widget.
Note: the page size of this PDF must be A4 and not the US letter,
zesje will refuse to work with US letter because those are distorted
by printers.
2. You upload the exam and mark the places where you expect students
to provide their answers.
3. You generate multiple exam copies with individual barcodes using
zesje's web interface. You can choose to download them as one file, or
many individual files so that the TUD printers can automatically
staple them together (recommended).

We have provided a sandbox deployment of a new zesje version over
here, please give it a shot:

At a trial you may use an exam attached to this email.

Please let us know if you experience any difficulties or if you have
further feedback.

I would like to thank Justin van der Krieken, Nick Cleintuar, and Jamy
Mahabier, for their hard work that enabled this feature, as well as
the rest of the Zesje team: Thomas Roos and Joseph Weston.

Best,
Anton
