Quiz Server
Description A researcher at Maui Community College has created an on-line assessment program called Quiz Server. QuizServer offers a collection of separate quiz tools that offer a number of features.Users can create on-line quizzes using a simple three-step process through use of the QuizMaker. QuizMaker uses input to generate a generic quiz file and answer key. Both are stored on the server for easy Web access. With the addition of inline images and hypertext links, the quiz can be its own self-contained learning module.
In addition to creating the quiz, QuizServer can correct it immediately. After a student fills out the quiz form and submits his/her answers, CorrectQuiz checks the answers against the answer key, determines which answers are correct, and tallies the total score. Within seconds it produces a page that shows the results and, if the teacher chooses, displays the correct answers. It is a very useful tool for practice tests.
Quiz Server allows a user to administer tests right on the Web. QuizMail takes the answers submitted from inside the quiz, deciphers it, sorts it, and then mails it directly to the teacher's email address. It saves time and saves paper.
Correcting short quizzes one by one can become tedious. CorrectMail performs on-the-fly quiz correction and then mails the results to the teacher instead of displaying them for the student. It reduces the time required for grading by eliminating the need to check each question against an external answer key.
Restrict-a-Quiz provides the capability to restrict quiz viewership to specific individuals using a password protection scheme. The only people who can take the quizzes are those who have a password.
