Introduction to Online Quiz Making (Adobe Flash and Illustrator) 

In this tutoring lesson you learn how to make a template to create your own online quizzes. The template is the easy step. The more difficult step is in problem and solution presentation. You can use XML and text to make your math equations more presentable, but that is still a lot of work, and the results often aren't that great.  The easier way  is to create graphic images for your equations. This can be done with Word's  math editor or it can be done with Adobe Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator provides the better typeset (see BookMark's Very Best Algebra Notes). And Adobe Illustrator graphics can be imported into Adobe Flash.

As part of the course, online quiz creations  are evaluated. The quiz below lacks many presentation qualities. It needs borders to define the solution's box. The buttons are dull and uninviting. Additionally, the math equations are not formatted in a professional manner. Another problem with this quiz, although it is functional,  is that it does not have an introduction. It is simply a blank page with control buttons.

Although Severely Lacking in Presentation Appeal, the online quiz below is perfectly functional. Click next question and see.
