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 + +Sample files, previous distributed with eqexam are now available from + + http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?cat=107 +and + http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?tag=eqexam-package + +The home page for eqexam is + + http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/eqexam.html + +The home page for AeB is + + http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/webeq.html + +Comments and suggestions are always gratefully accepted and seriously +considered. + +D.
