Web Survey

[Guest]

I recently created a PowerPoint presentation that included 12 two-answer
questions (A or B). It is really a quiz, as each question has a "correct"
answer. I would like to post this quiz to my website, so that people can
move through the questions by clicking the answers they want, and then moving
to the next slide. (Or even radio buttons, with a "next" button at the
bottom.) In the end, I want them to be able to review both the cumulative
results for each question from all quiz-takers, as well as the correct
answers. I was able to post the PowerPoint presentation, but turning it into
an interactive quiz/survey is beyond my very limited skills. I have both
PowerPoint 2003 and FrontPage 2002. My web host has FrontPage extensions,
but does not have Sharepoint. How do I do this without having to invest too
much time and energy (of which I have little these days)?

I don't think PPT is up to this, at least not on its own. It'd take someone
with a fairly sophisticated knowledge of web-based programming to pull it off,
I'm afraid, especially if you need to let each quiz-taker see the cumulative
results of previous tests.

With Front Page, you might be able to add a form to each slide, radio buttons
that let the user choose an answer and a submit button that saves the results to
a database, but displaying the results would be beyond what FP can do on its
own, I'm pretty sure.

Hmm. Thanks for the response, even if it wasn't the answer I was looking
for. When I go through the FrontPage materials, however, it seems to imply
that the only way to do it there is if the webserver has SharePoint
installed, which mine does not.

My web host does mention having "CGI Scripts" to do some of this, but that
just seems much too complicated to code into FrontPage/PowerPoint. I want
something easy.

I don't know of anything that simple, I'm afraid.

A friend of mine used to use an online quiz system with her classes.
Can't remember the name offhand but a google search on "create online quiz"
should turn up some candidates.

I see Articulate has a product:

They're very highly regarded in these parts.
