You can mix prerecorded book with dynamically selected elements, i.e, OMDoc exercises and examples that are selected depending on the current competencies of the learner.

Use one of the following tasks:

 illustrateWithSingleExample!
 trainWithSingleExercise!
 train!
 illustrate!

The first two insert a single example or exercise resp. The other two tasks insert several examples/exercises. The selection happens according to the pedagogical knowledge as formalized in the course generator.

Such dynamic tasks can be inserted in the omdoc/oqmath source code representing a table of content using jedit for instance, or using the assembly tool. If you insert them manually, it’ easy as the format of a dynamic item is quite intuitive:

<dynamic-item type="dynamicTask" servicename="tutorialControl"
    queryname="trainWithSingleExercise!">
    <ref xref="theory_of_exercises/def_exercise"/>
</dynamic-item>

The important parts are queryname (the task name) and the xref attribute that references the concept on which the task is to be applied. You can easily retrieve the value needed for the xref attribute by copying the the link of an item in a book, which yield something like: http://localhost:8080/ActiveMath2/search/show.cmd?id=mbase://LeAMcalculus/deriv/defnormal You need the part behind “id”: mbase://LeAMcalculus/deriv/defnormal You can retrieve it within the “more” tab of the additional information in the search view of an item.

You insert that dynamic-item into the table of content just like any other reference.
