Hello, does anybody knows anything about a Zope product for making tests / quizs? (this is for a courseware environment) Someone told me that there's something about that around, but I couldn't find it on Zope.org nor googling.... Thanks in advance for your answers :-) Mik

Thanks in advance for your answers :-) Mik Exam Product John Williams at J.A.R.Williams@aston.ac.uk The aim of this product is to enable the creation and maintenance of on-line assessments and examinations. Although originally designed for multiple choice questions the design is flexible and is not limited to supporting this question type. Numerical questions are also now supported as well. Much customisation is possible so it should meet a wide range of needs from informal self-help tests to formal timed examinations.

there is also http://www.zope.org/Members/gillou/XQuizz If you need to provide polls or quizz in your Zope site, XQuizz object will help you editing the form and compute the score. A basic rendering is provided. But you can provide your own rendering with DTML/ZPT, or subclass the XQuizz with your own ZClass that overrides the render method.

We also have something, a proof-of-concept of a Mozilla-only test engine. The back-end (Zope, of course!) uses a minor mod of PropertyLists (http://www.zope.org/Members/andym/PropertyList ) to hold the question data, and the front-end is XUL/Javascript/stylesheets. In between is xml-rpc (vcXMLRPC). Probably not a Product anytime soon, but it features: no "submit" buttons easy, random access to test items visible exam timer single-keystroke navigation single-keystroke item response Anyone curious may fire up a recent version of Mozilla and go to: https://www.vtdata.org/mozquiz/ It's a bit rough, but you get the idea of what we are trying to do. --Jim Washington

I was in a rush when I posted that .. there are now screenshots in addition to thumbnails, and some more details and links. In short, we're implementing the IMS Global Learning Consortium's Question & Test Interoperability Specification. This specification provides a standard XML language for describing questions and tests. We're writing a through the web editor for a subset of the specification, and a Zope product for rendering and filling in QTI questionnaires. So far, we've only posted some background. We hope to release an alpha by the end of the month. If anyone is interested in this area, we'd like to hear from you. -- Jean Jordaan http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za
