Students can also view all questions for the current quiz, or questions and explanations from previous quizzes. Instructors and TAs enter questions and alter quiz availability on a different web page. The script is perl-based and uses standard unix database functions. To get it working for you probably requires a unix web server allowing CGI scripts and either my co-operation or your own unix expertise.

Students select an answer and receive immediate feedback.
PopQuiz stimulates reflection on material without requiring student response or instructor grading. There will be three phases to PopQuiz. In June I'll add the a page with necessary JavaScript. In July I'll add word processing macros to make it easy to incorporate PopQuiz questions in existing notes. In August I hope to add a useage tracking feature that records, to a central server, attempts to answer questions.
