Abstract
In this thesis we present the improvements and refinements that we made to
the QuizScript system. QuizScript allows users, using simple markup, to quickly
and easily generate interactive quizzes, composed of multiple types of questions, and
provides immediate feedback to students. It was designed by Christine and Bill Wadge
to overcome the tediousness often experienced while creating quizzes using other
systems, such as Moodle. However, QuizScript has several shortcomings and their
rectification is the focus of this thesis. We remedied these drawbacks by designing and
implementing the following: a parser to detect errors; new functionalities; a database
to store and retrieve the quizzes; and a dynamic website to host the quizzes, which
enables an immediate preview of the quiz.
