<p>I'd add Testmoz, an incredibly easy, free, self-checking online quiz generator. You can <a href="http://howtoteachanovel.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-do-you-encourage-students-to-read.html" target="_blank">read about it here</a> to decide if it's the right tool for you; I shared strengths and possible pitfalls which will help you decide.</p>
