The key idea is that most students feel they learn best when they receive frequent evaluation, combined with the opportunity to revise their work and improve it over time. Feedback about performance is most effective when it is timely and frequent.

Clearly, students' and faculty's desire for frequent and timely performance feedback must be better balanced with the demands on classroom, as well as personal, time. The delivery system described in this paper addresses this critical need.

In QuizSite instructors maintain a database of items, group them in exams, quizzes, or surveys, and schedule those events for online administration.
