#Introduction

The {#quizCGI#../quizcgi/quizproc.html#} Online Testing Engine is a common
gateway interface that works with forms-based questions generated by MTX. For
more information about quizCGI, contact the author at the address given below. A
demonstration is available at:

'http://www.medinfo.ufl.edu/other/quizdemo/quizdemo.html

#Quiz Tags

The "%QUIZCGI" tag identifies the quizCGI engine on your server.

=  %QUIZCGI http://www.medinfo.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/quiz.cgi

The "%QUIZLIST" tag identifies an optional user identification list to be used
with this form. Several different quiz forms may share the same user list. The
quiz will be anonymous if you do not specify a user list. MTX adds the ".lst"
extension to the list name automatically.

=  %QUIZLIST users

#Layout Switches

The quizCGI engine supports four different levels of results reporting specified
by the "%LAYOUT" tag. At the lowest level, the user is told only that the form
was sucessfully processed:

=  %LAYOUT noresults

At the next level, the user is given a total score and percentage correct:

=  %LAYOUT results

At the next level, the user is given a total score, the percentage correct, and
a list of feedback links for both incorrect and correct answers:

=  %LAYOUT feedback

Finally, for review purposes, it is possible to circumvent results reporting altogether:

=  %LAYOUT review

#Expiration Date#=EXPIRE

Use the "%EXPIRES" tag to disable answer submission after a certain date. For
example, use Saturday's date if students are expected to complete the quiz by the
end of the work week. The quizCGI testing engine will then not allow anyone to
take the quiz after midnight on Friday.
