Automatic quiz generation: Without any knowledge of the HTML web page language, you can make on-line quizzes using a simple three-step process through the QuizMaker. QuizMaker uses your input to generate a generic quiz file and answer key which are stored on the server for easy Web access. With the addition of inline images and hypertext links, the quiz can be its own self-contained learning module. Immediate quiz correction: In addition to creating the quiz the QuizCenter can correct it on-the-fly produces a page which shows the results and, if the teacher chooses, displays the correct answers. Test taking, QuizMail takes the answers submitted from inside the quiz, deciphers it, sorts it, and then mails it directly to the teacher's email address. Privatized quizzes: Restrict-a-Quiz provides the capability to restrict quiz viewership to specific individuals using a password protection scheme. Quiz file management: Not only does the QuizCenter store your quizzes on our server, it provides you with control of those quizzes. Quiz files can be edited after they are created, and deleted once they are no longer needed. All this is done exclusively over the web.

First Class software, by Softarc < http://www.softarc.com > has been adopted for several years now by Oregon EdNet for the statewide educational computer network.

Good features are its friendly and easy to use screen interface, the ability to thread separate discussions, archive previous activity, provide the option of simultaneous chat in addition to asynchronous conferencing, and also to send attachments easily such as spreadsheets, graphic files, and so on. Separate electronic conference "rooms" can easily be set up by the teacher and subgroups assigned to work within them. Students can also send private mail to individuals or mail to the entire group in addition to any conferences they are assigned to. The instructor has access to all conferences except people's private mailboxes. ... from Margaret, MADenglish@T-Online.de ; on 13 Dec 1999 there was a posting on teslca-l to the effect that First Class "does not adhere fully to Internet standards" for SMTP mail - the poster was quoting from a source, not from experience.

(user comment on neteach-l or teslca-l) http:/www.nicenet.net (redirects to http://www.nicenet.org/ ) - It was erroneously reported here that Nicenet would no longer free after August 2002 - I can't recall where I got that information, but it would have been prior to Feb 2002.

In fact, we charge no fees for anything we do. Nicenet is a non-profit run by volunteers who give their time to provide tools to educators."
