I'm thinking of writing some quiz software for Snitz. Here's an outline of what is planned so far - it'll take a while since I'm moving from SC to ND this week. If anyone has any suggestions/requests, please reply so I cover the bases BEFORE we start beta-testing instead of after the mod is posted to SnitzBitz.
quote:
Quiz Software
1) Admin page:
a) Configure:
1 Number of questions
2 Format (multiple choice, t/f, essay, combo)
3 Display entire page of questions or advance after each answer
b) Add/Delete/Edit Questions
c) Add/Delete Quizzes
d) On/Off
e) Access level
f) Review results (by name w/ drop-down)
g) Option - auto grading, auto reporting of top 5 scorers
2) Quiz page:
a) UserName
b) Date (autofill)
c) Quiz ID and/or Name
d) Subject
e) Timer (count-down) for time-limited testing
f) Check if username has begun quiz in past, do not let retake any/all
g) Questions in random order, answers (if multiple choice) in random order
h) Window style - pop-up for advance after answer, optional for other styles

Don't forget logging of past tests. People like to compare results and/or someone may want to look into how people are doing, what they're missing, etc.
cripto9t was working on a Quiz MOD - http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=63931 - and it has a lot of what you're proposing. It would probably be better to take what he's done and work with him on finishing it. I've been meaning to but I keep getting pulled in other directions. 
FWIW, I wouldn't bother working with Essay/Fill-in-the-Blank type questions as you're going to have a bugger of a time grading them, and they will inevitably lead to more hassle then they are worth. I've seen it too much to cave on that point with the LMS at work.< |

I wasn't planning on grading them  - just wanted the option available to any teachers out there.
I will talk to Cripto, sure. If he's already done some of this, it can only make it easier (and faster).< |

I got a copy of his last night. He did a lot of work on it. I wrote him & if he agrees to collaborate, I won't reinvent the wheel.
I could add the score-keeping (historical) routines to it quite simply. I saw a few other things we could tweak (like extending the number of days before allowing a retake to a month vs a week), and strictly for cosmetics, add at least one other color to break up the field of blue when creating a quiz, etc.
Some of the other ideas I had in mind aren't available in Cripto's, it would be nice to have it all in one package.< |

Off and on. Too many things for my attention. Helping my son remodel his home, working on my daughter's website, tutoring, helping out here when I can, etc.; and all-the-while trying to get ready to move back to Europe in less than 45 days.
