Elliott, Alan C. ASP
$53
#27474/1648
is a computer language specifically designed to allow you to create computer
driven tutorials, tests, demos. You can also record the answers. It works much
like a word processor. You enter your information into a word processing
program, along with some simple commands and the language does the rest.
PCX graphics can be implemented into the CAI. Requires 320k and CGA compatible
video.

is an educator's toolkit for Computer Aided Instruction/Testing. It lets you
produce computer based tutorials which feature Hypertext, menus, help system,
pop-up windows, tests, quizzes, colors, sounds, graphics and more. Programming
skills are not a requirement. Requires 300k+ RAM.
PC-Quizzer 2.3
Data Assist
$29-$129
#27474/0875 (10-93 CD)
is a Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) program that aids in creating a quiz and
also administers the quiz, optionally making use of graphics. For example, the
USA quiz provided on the disk draws a may of the U.S. and highlights a state.
The student types in the name of the state and the computer says whether the
answer is right or wrong and keeps a running tally. Unfortunately, though the
documentation says that EGA cards are supported, quizzes that make use of
graphics are not and instead of warning you, the program locks up the machine
tight. The graphics-dependent quizzes loaded and ran all right on a
CGA-equipped PC. You can still run quizzes on monochrome and EGA systems, but
you cannot use graphics. Quizzer also claims to support the Vortrax speech
synthesizer, but this was not tested. PCX files are supported.
BestTest
WiseWare ASP
$50
#27165/2705
lets you create test items in essay, fill-in, true/false, multiple choice, and
matching form. Test items may vary in length of up to 50 lines. The program
supports bold, underline, subscript and superscript text, and allows you to make
use of all the characters in the extended ASCII character set. Printing options
include on-screen preview, multiple copies, multiple versions, and answer
sheets. This is a very powerful and flexible test maker. Questions can be pulled
from multiple files. The program will optionally select test questions for you
at random. Requires 384k.
David Boyer, Akron, OH: "When exiting the program it asks to save the changes,
when you answer yes, it says it can't find a file that is there, exits to DOS
and no changes are saved."
PsL: We weren't able to duplicate the error; the program saved our test file.
Anyone else out there having this problem?
Quiz-Maker 3.1 [QUIZMAKR]
Intelligent Educational Software
