Here at UNCW we have a simple to use online testing program called Quizmaker. This application was created by the Office of Web Management using a program that allows web browsers to interact with a database.
Online quizzes have a number of strengths and weaknesses.
Thoughtful use of this application can play to inherent strengths and downplay the inherent weaknesses of this tool. It really is that simple. It is recommended that you use Quizmaker only if you have a personal web page. The simplest way to direct students to the login area for a given quiz is to put the link within your online syllabus or somewhere the students will know to go to get access to the quiz. You should also have a basic understanding of HTML, this isn't necessary for creating the quizzes but it helps if you want to add images and of course it helps when creating things like an online syllabus.
