Need quiz improvement

Tags:

I need someone who is more technical to provide some tools for the site. Specifically related to the quizes.

 

1. I need to know more about the 'grade' books. I created a quiz but I think I am doing damage to someone's 'basic' grade book.

2. I need the following functionality:

A. When a user enters a specific answer into a quiz question, text is added to the output.
B. When a user answers a question in a specific way, a new question is qued.

C. Multiple outputs based on multiple percentage ranges, currently we only have two ranges I would like more.

D. When you create a quiz or grade book you directly edit the questions on the quiz or grade book, and each question has the above functionality.

3. I also would like some tools to be built if someone is up to the task.

A. BMI tool for the Fitness page http://my-calorie-counter.everydayhealth.com/BMI_Calculator.asp

B. BMR tool for the Fitness page http://my-calorie-counter.everydayhealth.com/Calorie_Calculator.asp

C. A METs calculator for the Fitness Page.

D. It would be absolutely awesome if I could display these on my test.

 

If your interested in helping me with my research and helping people on this site get in better physical condition please PM me, respond here, or email me at Manuel.OKelly@gmail.com

I met the guy who wrote the Quiz module, we can probably ask him

I met the guy who wrote the Quiz module, we can probably ask him about these feature ideas and find out how they're best doable.

Ask him if there's a way

Ask him if there's a way the results can be automaticly saved and added to your profile if you want it?  Keeping track of my various results and re-taking tests to see if I've improved later would be handy.

Also, if the tests were available to anonymous non-members, comparing average results to those who are members would be interesting. Especially if the non-member sees members of the site are on average fitter/smarter/etc than non-members.

The temptation to go down the okcupid "click here to take the test yourself" route is strong, but tempered by how annoying and vapid the tests can get. It'd get members, but what members. 

Lol.

Lol.

"Hi! Would you like to take a free personality test?"

 

Objectively studying whether this program made someone smarter, fitter or stronger would take a bit more then a quiz. However, it's an interesting question, and would serve as good feedback. Also if the test module had the ability to send test results to an email address that would be useful. I really wish I could program worth a damn.

Google now does Quiz's

I am going to check out some of Googles Survey resources for my research. I think it would be helpful for my work to have these tools built into the site however. For one thing, I have made it a goal to lace some of my spreadsheets that I use to train people into the weight loss and fitness section.
