The quizzes will be created by Wiley using Question Mark Perception software, which offers instant feedback to quiz respondents. Students will be able to log on from anywhere in the world to answer questions based on the material in Wiley textbooks. We think they will find this to be an extremely powerful tool for motivating students to learn. The Question Mark Perception software has an authoring wizard that leads content authors through the creation of text, selection, numeric entry, explanation, multiple choices, and multiple response questions. More advanced authors can utilize the software's writing and editing functions to create their own question types.
Perception is used for formal tests as well as self-assessments, quizzes, and surveys.
It offers the highest levels of security possible for delivering tests via a Web browser. A special security agent can prevent anyone from taking a test unless they are authorized and scheduled. Once tests are completed, the system analyzes the results and produces reports. Question Mark was founded in 1988 and was one of the first software companies to provide an authoring framework to create tests and assessments to run on personal computers. Today, the company offers a full range of software for the testing and assessment marketplace spanning Windows 3.X. DOS, Macintosh, and Web environments.
