online quizzes

I'm doing some researches on manipulating online quizzes, which enable the students to do the quizzes at their own convenient while I can access their performance via email.

First I start with a free host to store all the quizzes then call them in the new entry. The major problem here is sometimes the flash file won't load at all. I try three different hosts just to find the same result. Is it the bandwidth limit? I double check the statistics to find that I am still too far from reaching the bandwidth of 200 GB of the hosts. What seems to be the problem?

When I run the quizzes locally and load the quizzes from the hosts, it works just fine. So I conclude that calling the file into my page will lead to more and more problems, and for a very moment, I remember the use of iframe. Well, why not?

So here it goes. This is a short sample quiz, but it is working properly. It takes quite long a time, but on the long run, it should worth it.

Together with online quizzes are, of course, online score reports ^^. This is written in PHP with MySQL. I'm still a newbie with this language, though.

For some reasons, the email function does not seem to work steadily... I must figure out a way around this

I spent time on some books about PHP & MySQL so that I can store the quiz taker's information and score for reference and later use. Now this tool, together with the built-in score report, I can get instant and detailed score list of the student. My newly accomplished work has been updated in the main post.

Needless to say, the online scores receive the data from the quiz and publish it automatically.
