The eqexam Package
eqExam is a LaTeX package for writing exams, tests, quizzes,
homework assignments, etc. It is a stand alone package, yet is
tightly integrated with the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle (AeB). Highlights of
this package are as follows:
1. Can create exams (tests, quizzes, homework assignments) for
paper, with points in the left or right margins (or both), totals
for each page optionally shown at the bottom corner of each page.
Questions can be objective, fill-in, true false, or multiple
choice.
2. Solutions can optionally be included in the source file, and
by changing options, can be displayed (for an answer key), in a
couple of different ways. A solutions only document can also be
generated.
3. Can create mutli-part exams, as I often do for final exams, these
multiple exams are meant to be graded individually.
4. The one thing that distinguishes this package from the other
exam package is its support for PDF, and this is where AeB comes
in. When you have AeB installed, and you select any of
several options (pdf, links, online or email), a variety of
things can happen. For example, in the case of the online or
email options, white space for solutions is converted into
multiline text field, spaces to fill in answers are converted to
text fields,multiple choice questions are converted into radio
button fields, etc. When the email option is used, a "Submit"
button is automatically created at the top of the first page of
the test. The student can take the test online (perhaps in a
testing lab) then submit responses to the instructor. The email
that is generated to the instructor attaches the FDF file of
form data, so the instructor gets a copy of all responses.
She/He can then open the file and view the responses of the
student. Get the latest AeB (AcroTeX eDucation Bundle,
web,exerquiz,etc)
