[CODE4LIB] quiz software
Hello friends! I was wondering if anyone could point me towards web-based open source software for library instruction that would let me administer quizzes, grade the quizzes and return a score, and then, preferably, keep some basic statistics. We're looking into a Google Forms/Spreadsheets hack, but I didn't know if there was anything a bit more elegant out there that could do the job.

Re: [CODE4LIB] quiz software
If your institution uses courseware (sakai/blackboard) you might be able to piggy back on that. -t On 9/16/14, 2:11 PM, Valerie Forrestal valerie.forres...@csi.cuny.edu wrote: Hello friends!

Re: [CODE4LIB] quiz software
Val, It's old and unsupported, but If you can code php there are some good bones in Quirex. http://www.thomastsoi.com/software/quirex/ I put it through a bunch of modifications and used it for years, just retired it a year or so ago for less useful and functional software.

Just saw this on the NPR site by chance: http://www.socrative.com/ Not OSS, but appears to cover the functionality in mind at their free level.

Re: [CODE4LIB] quiz software
Turns out, it's free for K-12 teachers only. My bad, but good for you if the shoe fits. --DBL From: David Lowe Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2014 4:49 PM To: jeremy.shellh...@humboldt.edu; CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: RE: [CODE4LIB] quiz software Just saw this on the NPR site by chance: http://www.socrative.com/ Not OSS, but appears to cover the functionality in mind at their free level.
