I am pleased to announce the release of a new ToolBookDeveloper.com tool - the Quiz Randomizer. With the Quiz Randomizer you will be able to create randomized quizzes that select x questions from any number of categories of questions in your quiz book. This will assure that your learners are getting a balanced set of quiz questions, covering all aspects of the content. The Quiz Randomizer will also allow you to specify certain questions as mandatory so that you can be sure that core questions are always included in your quizzes. Read more »
