Multiple Choice Quizzes on your ipod
2 05 2007iQuiz is a new ‘game’ available to download for your video ipod, it costs 79p in the UK. It allows the user to play multiple choice tests and records their statistics. If you download iQuiz Maker from Aspyr, currently only available for the Mac but Windows version is due out this month, you can also create your own tests that can be uploaded to the ipod. This would be another way of utilising the technologies have students have in their pockets in or beyond our classrooms.
I found several multiple choice ICT tests on Teach ICT and even though their resources are free to use they will not allow me to turn them into iQuiz files:
Hello
Thanks for getting in touch. We have also been considering other channels to pursue, such as ipods (video and audio), so in light of this, we must decline your request of using our content to do this.If you develop something along those lines using your own material, then please drop us a line as we are always willing to host other contributors work on the teach-ict site.See http://www.teach-ict.com/contributors/index.htm

So if anyone knows of any ICT multiple choice questions that I could use, drop me a line and I will share all the iQuiz files I produce.
Does anyone know if this kind of software, both the quiz and quizmaker, is available for the Nintendo DS, Sony PSP or PDAs?
Great idea.
I have some KS3 ICT ones on my website - http://e-subjects.co.uk - you can convert. They are currently in a moodle format but it is just a text file which should be pretty easy to strip the code out.
Let me know how you get on and if you need further help.
Strange. I made a comment earlier but it hasn’t shown up so I will try again
There are some KS3 ICT multiple choice questions on my website you can use - http://e-subjects.co.uk - which are based around the Nat Strat units. They are currently in moodle format but this is just a text file so it should be pretty easy to strip the formatting.
I will be having a look at the software myself in the next day or so. Sounds interesting. The site gives the impression that the software is free.
Hi Steve,
I’ve just received this email from yacapaca;
Yacapaca Authoring Update
We have just launched a new feature aimed at anyone who wants to experiment with the Sony PSP as an educational tool. There is now a separate quiz template optimised for the PSP.
The template is a modified version of the Avatar template, but with size and location of various components moved about to make best use of the PSP’s 480*272 pixel screen.
You can compile almost any quiz to run on the PSP simply by selecting PSP from the Template dropdown on the Edit Quiz page.
The limitations are:
No Cloze questions.
No very long questions or answers
Location questions work, but can be tricky - though perhaps that is just my poor joystick co-ordination.
If you want to read more about using the PSP for teaching and learning, here’s a .
