The aim of the study is to present an author's experience of the LMS Moodle configuration for the STACK question type with MAXIMA CAS usage.
Materials and Methods of the research. The configuration of Bitnami-based LMS Moodle test instance is presented. The usage ot the STACK question type with MAXIMA CAS integration for the for the "Higher mathematic" course assessment is proposed.
Results and Discussions. The problem of the MAXIMA CAS usage on LMS Moodle server running on CentOS 7 is depicted. An update of the procedure of the LMS Moodle adoption and configuration process for the STACK question type usage is offered. The steps-by-step manual for the MAXIMA CAS compilation and installation on server runs by the CentOS 7 OS is developed. The question type STACK questions authoring for the "Higher mathematic" course assessment are given as example.
Conclusion. Benefits of STACK question type usage for the "Higher mathematic" course assessment are presented. The further research and development perspectives are described.
