The AlphaQuiz SmartApplet allows students to take quizzes on their NEOs.
You can use the QuizDesigner program on your computer to create the quiz;
then, you can use the QuizManager program to send quizzes to NEOs and
receive and score their answers for automatic grading and reporting.
Quizzes can include true/false, multiple-choice, short answer, and essay
questions.
