New Quiz Software that Uses Flash

We all know how popular quizzes and surveys are now in the ever growing population of MySpace, blogs, Facebook, etc. It's now the coolest way to let everyone know everything they did AND didn't want o know about you. An LA based company, Wildform, Inc., has created and released a program called Quiz Creator. This is a "standalone software program" that allows the user to easily create LMS compliant, customized Flash quizzes, tests, assessments and surveys in only minutes. All you have to do is come up with your content, preview and make any changes the BOOM! approve it and you're ready to thwo that baby on-line.

Some of the features this program offers are:
~it exports Flash quizzes
~the question templates include: multiple choice/single answer, multiple choice/multiple answer, true/false, fill in the blank
combine multiple question types in the same quiz
~you can create fully customized quiz templates by choosing design, fonts, navigation, time-limit, etc.
~ you can generate score reports
~LMS compliant – supports SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, and AICC
Some of the additional outputs include HTML and projectors for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Quiz Creator is a user-friendly program that is able to produce quizzes in Flash format, which is now the most widely viewable multimedia format on the net. You do not need any special software inorder to see all the quizzes put on-line which is great becuase it doesn't leave anyone out and they play on all browser types and bypass all firewalls. The quizzes can be used by themselves on a website, distributed on CD's or DVD's, played on mobile devices, integrated with other presentations or connected directly to SCORM or AICC compliant learning management systems for online testing.

As of release (January 2007) Quiz Creator is olny available for Windowsand is an efficient and cost-effective way to create dynamic, Flash-based surveys and assessments without the need for any training and development time. The introductory price was $99, but list price is $199.

It's obvious that Wildform, Inc. has a finger on the pulse of youth today. You can hardly go anywhere on-line without running into some sort of "Have you ever... with your top 8?" or "220 things ALL ABOUT ME!" quizzes and surveys. Although most of the kids out there will have to beg mom and dad for the program since by now it probobly costs more, it's still a great was create and individualize your own unique surveys rather then use the generic ones already on-line. Not to mention, you don't need to know anything about Flash in order to do it! You get all the great features Flash has without having to go through and do it yourself.

In time I'm sure there will be more applications like thins becasuse it is my opinion that survey will never die, just like Elvis.
