+The eqexam Package
+Dated: 2017-03-16
+Author: D. P. Story
+
+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 multi-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
+ multi-line 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)
+ 5. A major option, fortextbook, is designed to support (U.S.) textbook
+ authors. Documentation for this option is found in the doc/fortextbook
+ folder. See also the series of blogs at
+ http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?tag=fortextbook
