WebRespond is a Java applet which provides an
automated method of quizzing students over the Internet. Anyone with the
ability to generate web documents, can link a quiz into their document
by modifying the template files given below. These documents can be successfully
read using any browser that supports Java v1.1.5 and higher. WebRespond
can also be configured to provide a web based survey.
This version of WebRespond makes it possible to
ask multiple choice, true false, short answer, and essay questions. By
specifying a review mode the student is able to get their score as well
as review their performance on each question. If an email address is provided,
the student's score and responses for each question are sent to the instructor.
To limit access to the quiz a student password option is available. Warning:
Due to the lack of any security features in this version it is not recommended
that WebRespond be used for any quizzes for credit. A later version of
WebRespond will include encryption which will help to maintain the security
of passwords and question files.
The following pages are provided to assist you in using WebRespond.
