Features of a Quiz
Quiz nodes are the clearinghouse of information during the taking of a test. A Quiz can:
- Be graded as either a percentage, or a pass/fail.
- Keep track of how many times each user has taken the test, and deny any attempts after that limit has been reached.
- Be always available to users, or only available between certain calendar days.
- Provide custom-tailored user feedback after each question is answered to enhance the learning experience.
- Show the correct answer after each question, or wait till the test is over before providing the results.
- Tabulate the results of the finished test into a pretty graphics-enhanced table.
Random Questions vs. Static Questions
Each quiz has a selected grouping of Questions in it, and those Questions can be either randomly shown during the Quiz, or they can be always present on the Quiz. If a Quizmaster decides to make a test that contains 15 randomly-selected Questions, the users who take that test will each see a slightly different set of Questions, even though they will be graded on their answers relative to a passing percentage grade. Quizzes that use a combination of random and static Questions, or Quizzes comprised only of static Questions will also be graded against a percentage of right vs. wrong answers. This allows tremendous flexibility to a Quizmaster who's just trying to keep people interested in their content.
