Learning Management Systems (LMSs) have become very successful in e-Education but, at the time of writing, there are some important facilities they lack: i) providing full-fledged adaptivity to the level of knowledge of students and ii) providing automatic assistance for evaluators when building an exam. This paper proposes two solutions: “Adaptive Quiz” and “Score Assistant”. An “Adaptive Quiz” is an intelligent quiz whose difficulty changes automatically while the student answers quiz questions. The “Score Assistant” is an intelligent tool able to compute the optimal set of scores to be assigned to every choice of a quiz question. The solutions are based on Answer Set Programming (ASP), a truly declarative programming paradigm proposed in the area of non-monotonic reasoning, logic-programming and Artificial Intelligence. We are presently in the process of developing a Moodle plugin, seamlessly integrating our solutions, to assist educators in evaluating the preparedness of students within the Moodle environment.
