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. === Graduate === 0984 === [e-mail]
