iSpring QuizMaker: What's New in 6.1
iSpring QuizMaker 6.1 contains a great deal of the most requested and advanced new features. A major improvement in QuizMaker 6.1 is the ability to create a survey, which was indeed long-expected. Many of the already familiar features were upgraded introducing new opportunities like adding formulas, giving individual feedback to each question, etc.
Text Styles and Hyperlinks for Questions and Feedback
With this feature, you can customize size, font, color, and style of a question and a feedback message. Now you can not only create beautiful and original quizzes, but also make them more effective by inserting hyperlinks to useful resources when asking questions or giving feedback. Text in a blank slide can be customized as well.
Embedding a Flash Movie
Now you can add either a video file or a Flash movie to each question. Click the "Flash" icon on the Video tab to insert Flash.
Number of Attempts to Take a Quiz
Now you can offer user from 1 to 10 attempts to take the quiz, or allow the unlimited quiz attempts. If a user fails your quiz with more than one possible attempt, he or she can retake the quiz with a "Retake Quiz" button.
Customizable Result Letter Template
You can use this feature to receive quiz results to your email in a more convenient form. Customize name and subject of the letter to easily manage incoming reports. You can also customize details of each question that will be displayed in the letter.
Custom Points for Multiple Choice and Multiple Response Questions
iSpring QuizMaker now allows you to customize the number of points that a student receives for each answer. For example, number of received points may depend on whether user chose all correct options, more than half, or only one of them.
Time Report for Quizzes with Limited Time
If you are creating a quiz with a limited completion time, it is always useful to know if the time was enough to think and give the correct answer. With this feature, you can track how much time a student actually spent to complete the test. Also, you can review failed test to see if a student used the provided time rationally.
Setting Completion Statuses for an LMS
If you are publishing AICC or SCORM 1.2 quizzes, you can set the completion status that will be sent to the LMS. This feature allows rating a quiz as passed/failed or complete/incomplete.
Disable Quiz Review
If quiz results aren't sent to your email or server for some reason, there will be no review available for the quiz. This can prevent students from cheating, even if quizzes are taken offline.
Usability Improvements
iSpring QuizMaker includes a number of usability improvements that will ensure positive experience of using the software. Check out the following opportunities:
- Maximize the "Details" Field. If you are using a large image in your Hotspot question or you provide a long list of answers, the "Details" field can always be extended.
- Undo-Redo Feature. To quickly Undo or Redo some action, you can use the traditional Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y combinations.
- Embedded Audio. Audio player is now displayed on slides automatically, featuring navigation and volume control.
- Copy-and-Paste Feature for Questions. With QuizMaker"s copy-and-paste feature, you can easily transfer questions between quizzes.
- Automatic backup copy. Now your QuizMaker will automatically create a backup copy of a quiz. Feature is available under the "Options" button in the QuizMaker Menu.
