"If you have not tried Respondus, you need to. This is an excellent tool for creating quizzes, surveys, and self-tests...I'm so happy someone thought of developing this product."

Respondus Version 3.5

Respondus is a powerful tool for creating and managing exams that can be printed to paper or published directly to Blackboard, WebCT, eCollege, ANGEL and other eLearning systems. Exams can be created offline using a familiar Windows environment, or moved from one eLearning system to another. Whether you are a veteran of online testing or relatively new to it, Respondus will save you hours on each project.
