powerpoint quizzes

[Rhett]

I have created a powerpoint multiple choice quiz. Is there any way I can
email the users answers back to me?

I need to email rather than save in a file because users are on different
servers

Bill Foley of http://www.pttinc.com/ has some code to do this, but it is
specific to particular email clients. That is, you can't create generic
code that will do what you want for any email client, but if everyone is
using the same client, it might be possible.

The best solution is to look into software like Articulate Presenter or
Camtasia Studio that convert presentation to Flash, but also has quizzing
capabilities (with options to email results or upload to a full LMS).

Hi Rhett

I've been asked to put our safety induction into powerpoint and thought it
would be a great idea to have a scored quiz on the content to measure
understanding. Being a relative newbie to powerpoint can you advise any help
resources that will point me in the right direction on how to compile the
quiz aspect please?

Regards, Chris

I have several quiz examples on my Web site. The difficulty is that they
use VBA, which is very powerful, but has some distribution limitations
and is fairly difficult to learn for a "relative newbie to powerpoint."
You can check out my example at:

Click on "Examples by Chapter" and start with the examples in Chapter 7.

I had similar issue needing quiz capability within PPT. Found a solution -
Quiz Builder app from Tanida is EZ to use and does have email capability. It
will create an .swf quiz that can be inserted into PPT same as any other
..swf. I like it because it generates everything within one flash file so it
is EZ to use it within PPT - unlike some others I also own/have tried. Note
that I am not affiliated with this company in any way - just passing on
something that may work for you.

Forgot to add in my previous reply that this solution does require that
participants have PPT and not just using the viewer. True for any .swf in
PPT...

Thank you for your help. I most certainly could not have got it done
without your help.

Thanks for you help.
