Benjamin: PowerQuizPoint is an innovative product from the DigitalOfficePro stable. PowerQuizPoint software allows you to create easy and user friendly quizzes directly from within PowerPoint (versions 2010, 2007, 2003, and 2002) that can be published in the Flash file format. Quizzes created with PowerQuizPoint have the added features of both PowerPoint and Flash. The most important feature of the program is its interface that allows you to create rich media quizzes without any programming skills. When creating quizzes, you have the option to include a header, categories, questions, and choices for multiple answers and also a description for the answers.
There is also a question bank that lets you to save questions in a database that can be used subsequently. Also, you can choose from ready quiz templates based on the subject matter of the quiz that you are creating. The Quiz Creator has an email feedback feature that lets the publisher of the quiz receive results via email.
Feedback from clients has provided us valuable feedback to enrich the program further. We are constantly working on new features and one of them is the QMS (Quiz Management System) feature that will be released very shortly.
After you install PowerQuizPoint, a tab of the same name can be found on the Ribbon in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010. A toolbar shows up in PowerPoint 2003 or earlier.
When you click on the Insert button, it opens up the Quizmaker interface. Follow step by step instructions to select from the various options to create questions and answers. Once you are done, click on the Insert Quiz Question option. This will insert the question within PowerPoint. Repeat the process to add multiple questions. After you have added the requisite number of questions, click the Finish button. To view the quiz, click on the View Show button, or press the F5 shortcut key in PowerPoint.
