 * = ==General Description == ||= QuizStar is a web-based quiz maker that enables you to create, administer and automatically grade your quizzes online. With this site you can manage your quizzes and your class. Other features include adding multimedia files to questions, multiple languages, access from any Internet-connected computer, and student completion and review. Originally the site was created as a grant-driven free online tool. It had turned into a subscription-based service due to lack of funding, but has gone back to a free service. This was obtained by adding adds to the page, a small distraction for a good free site. It is powered by 4teachers.org. (//Not on my list to be reviewed, but has many helpful sites and tools listed) // ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= This site has individual logins for both teacher and students. Teachers simply create the class folder and then enter quizzes. The quiz creator allows you to design multimedia quizzes in different formats including multiple choice, true/false, and short answer. A master answer key will score all types of these formats, with the obvious exception of the short answer questions. Teachers also can administer the length that the quiz will be available. There is a separate student site. It is set up in a more simplistic and direct way. Students sign up, search for the teacher’s classes, register and then take tests//. (Pretty simple stuff honestly) // ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= Both teachers and students need an active email address to register. Prior to sending the students to the site, I would make sure you have reviewed and practiced making quizzes and grading them. Also, web-sense may block the student login the district. It has been open during one session and blocked in another. But, students should be able to log in from home without a problem. ||
