Quiz Scoring and Pop-Up Window Application Question
Subject:Quiz Scoring and Pop-Up Window Application Question From:"Nina L. Panzica" <panin -at- MINDSPRING -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 14 Jan 1998 08:53:00 -0600
Odd title, I know but I couldn't think of a better one this early in the
morning. <g>
I need to know if there is a simple-to-use, small software tool out there
that will do the following two tasks:
1. Display a graphic, such as a flowchart, that, when the user clicks on
various parts of it, pop-up windows appear that provide information about
specific parts of the flow chart.
2. Create, randomize, and score a quiz from a base of questions. Perhaps
track student responses, as well.
Obviously, something like Authorware could do both these things in a jiff.
But the client doesn't want anything as "complex" as Authorware. They want
a simple, small, easy-to-use program that will let them design an
application that will do both of these tasks.
The delivery plaform is a CD-ROM.
Any suggestions? Also, the client metioned a possible program called Net
Quiz. Has anyone here worked with this program? If so, do you know if it
will do the pop-up window part of this project?
I'd appreciate any and all input on this.
Regards,
Nina P.
