Quiz / Test Maker

Often times i find that making a test or a quiz is one of the most difficult tasks. I am trying to find a software that makes it 1. easy 2. more interactive for the student 3. and def. easy to grade for me. I came across one such software called Articulate Quizmaker 09 -- its really awesome and does TONS of stuff. (http://www.articulate.com/products/studio.php) however, it cost over 1300.00. Is there any other software or alternative that anyone out there has come up with?

I like quizlet quite a bit for review of basic review of nomenclature.

Another vote for examview - it is very flexible and allows you to format the quiz/test in many common formats.

I too use ExamView. I like that you can change the order of the questions for multiple copies of the same test. Just in case eyes tend to wander.

I looked into ExamView, and it looks very promising, however you need to pay for it.

One of the best online quiz makers is ClassMarker: http://www.classmarker.com/

They have a limited free service, but the Pro model for teachers, with all their features is just $25/year.

Well worth it if you plan to use it quite a bit. Very customizable, too.

Ojas,

I think that this is a gap in the tools available for CW 2.0.

Imagine if there was a site where groups of teachers could create test/quiz questions, rank their difficulty, link them to topics and standards, and then build assessments (online or on paper) from item subsets.

Try Hot Potatoes. hotpot.uvic.ca/ It is a great way to create quiz questions and the students can even take them after you post them to a web site.

Hi Ojas:

Are you looking for a web based on desktop tool? There are many desktop tools and pretty good ones too.

Thanks

Yeah, if there was a web-based tool that would be great! I currently give my students multiple choice tests and then use the CPS Clickers to have them take the test. It's worked well so far, but I would rather type a test online, have them take the test at their own pace, and then auto grade it.
