Sameer Bhatia, founder and president of ProProfs, has been in touch to reminds us about the launch of the next generation of ProProfs Quiz School , a free, easy-to-use quiz creation site that offers an electronic repository of quizzes ranging from SAT preparation to Hollywood trivia.
ProProfs Quiz School allows users to create a quiz for their classroom, company, blog or friends. Users can make these quizzes accessible to the entire web through widgets, and have a social network interaction around them.
In addition, it maintains a quiz history, complete with interesting aggregate analysis & trends, down to snapshot of each attempt. In otherwords, the site empowers users to create, manage, share and take a widely varying array of quizzes.
Our goal with the new Quiz School was to create a 'YouTube' for quizzes of sorts," said Sameer Bhatia, founder and president of ProProfs. "We wanted to create a social environment around quizzes, where quizzes can be easily created, tagged, shared, discussed and integrated with the new web, the blogosphere, and the social networks, much like YouTube allows for video.
The updates reflect increased emphasis on social interaction and self expression, offering users customization controls for color themes, content & style ."Besides offering users the ability to easily embed quizzes as widgets on blogs, forums, social networks and course management systems, users can then display quiz scores and certificates of completion on their respective sites.
Furthermore, user profiles can be utilized to store quiz history, comments, or network with other users. As evidenced by the new design, the user experience is the prime focus of the new ProProfs Quiz School.
The entire user interface has been revamped to make quiz creation and completion streamlined and simplistic. Quiz color and style customization is easier than ever before and image upload has been integrated with Yahoo's Flickr API, giving users access to a limitless library of images for the quizzes. At the same time, new question types, including free response and fill-in-the-blank, have been added to grant flexibility to quiz creators. Users who create quizzes on ProProfs Quiz School can in turn use new features such as Google Maps integration, graphical stats, scoring options, customizable result types, geographical data and quiz analytics to assess how users are faring on their quizzes.
Powerful customization controls for scoring, visuals and quiz styles ensure that Quiz School caters to educators & learners across all domains, along with users looking to just have fun with easy to create quizzes.
