Hi all,
i am new in EE so please suggest me how can i build Quiz Module where a user see a set of questions with four option and he/she go through the all questions and finally see their result and questions are manageable from CMS. how can i build this module? if any possibilities to implement such kind of script by weblog. if some one build these kind of application please suggest me and provide your valuable support.

I’m looking to do the same thing. I need to do a simple 5-10 question multiple-choice quiz. Trying to think of the simplest way to do this with a weblog. Anyone implemented something like this?

Me too. I’m looking for just one question trivia type quiz. Would like to save who answered correctly and put them into a draw for a prize. Any existing plugins?

Me too.  I need something that lets people answer a multiple choice question.  Retry until they get it right.  Records which member got it right.  And only lets them get credit for getting it right once.

Did you see Leevi’s poll extension @ http://leevigraham.com/cms-customisation/expressionengine/lg-polls/

Thanks.  That’s a great extension.  Unfortunately I need something that can distinguish between right and wrong answers, which a poll isn’t able to do.

You would build a module by building it…

You would need to read the dev documentation and program one.  Nothing like that exists yet.  But I know there has been and continues to be at least a small contingent that wants something like that.

I’ve used ChumpSoft’s PHPQuestionaire for years. Simple. Elegant. Plenty of options. Dependable.

Not a true quiz builder, but you could use solspace’s freeform plugin with some if else statements for logic.

I’m in the beginning stages of developing a Quiz/Assessment Module. 
Any input for desired functionality is welcome.

I’ve given some brief thought to this before.  I imagine being able to assign the different types of questions (true/false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, short answer) via a custom field.  I’m envisioning something like [removed].  Assign your custom field group to your Test/Quiz weblog and you’re ready to rock and roll…  Create a question by making an entry into that weblog.  Obviously, the question type would be based on the custom field used.

That’s my rough start to conceptualizing how it might work.  It’d be worth a nice fee and become the de-facto standard for this sort of need.

I’m in the beginning stages of developing a Quiz/Assessment Module.

take a look at what moodle does with it’s quiz module - that might give you somethign to work with.

I do a considerable amount of work in the area of medical online decision-making tools—and have used most of the major quiz apps and learning management systems available. If anybody is considering building a quiz module for EE, I would suggest looking at survey software rather than quiz/e-learning apps for inspiration.

If you’re trying to do simple “right-wrong” answer quizes, you’ll probably be able to put something together in EE using variable input in short order. The limitation that most “quiz” and testing apps seem to have is that you cannot assign variable weights to different responses—then add branch or skip logic. An answer is generally “correct” or “incorrect.”

Survey apps, by contrast, are built from the ground up to assign weighted variable input—then track that input and branch according to it. At least the higher end survey apps, not the free online ones named after primates.

I wish you the best in building a quiz module: I can assure you that if you make it flexible and EE native, the market for it will be robust.

I’ve had very good success with ChumpSoft’s phpQ application. Inexpensive, simple install, plenty of flexibility for customization, stand alone or embedded, dependable, good support.

Chumpsoft’s product looks like a fine solution for solid basic survey work. For much more extensive capabilities and security (and a price tag to match) there’s Key Survey and Qualtrics. Both of these are for enterprise-level work—but worth checking out if you need the big guns.

Ok, so we’ve followed the advice on this thread and are implementing variable weights, not only on a question level, but also on an individual answer level.

We’re also building in the ability to control what question you go to next depending on the selected answer - I’m assuming this would solve the needs for being able to handle branching or for building particular types of surveys.

We’d gladly accept anymore feature request that might be out there for what is turning into a very robust Quiz/Survey Engine.

I’ll be the first to ask…  Do you have a target date for releasing this into the wild?  Do you need testers?

We actually already have two focus groups set up.
It could potentially be ready for consumption at the end of March.

We’re really close. We’re looking for input from the community on what a fully-featured module like this would be worth.

Any feedback you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
