Here in the district we host our own webserver, an mysql database running websites.  Many of the sites I use WordPress as a basic template since only a few staff members are interested in coding a site from scratch .  In 3 short years of using this code I am impressed with the size and diversity of plugins, add-on’s, themes, etc most of which are available free.  Here is a free plugin that I came across awhile back that work great, does not require any membership or outside service, and work with the latest version of wordpress 2.9.1.

This plugin is easy to use, efficient and effective.

Plugin is called  Quizzin (http://www.bin-co.com/tools/wordpress/plugins/quizzin/).

Quizzin can be added directly to your wordpress installation by clicking on Plugins, search for Quizzin and then click Add New, then search for Quizzin, and click Install and Activate.

From the admin Console you can now easily create and insert a quiz directly into your website – free, fully functional and fully contained within the code of the website.

To use this plugin simply login to the admin portion of your wordpress site and then click on Tools – look for Create or Manage Quiz.

Now click on Create New Quiz to get started.

Once you have a Quiz Created you can Now click on Manage Questions to start creating the quiz.  Easy and functional.  Using the editor you can easily create and add questions.

Here is a short 3 question quiz using the plugin.

With the Quiz ready I simply add the code ["QUIZZIN 1"] without the quotes and the quiz is automatically inserted into the post or page.

If you like this pluggin you may also like another plugin by this same author called Surveys – very similar to Quizzin.

Surveys can be found here http://www.bin-co.com/tools/wordpress/plugins/surveys/ .
