mcQuiz is a multiple-choice question-and-answer web app. It comes with a number of versions depending on how mathematical expressions are rendered (TeXZilla or MathJax) and whether the question-and-answer data is encrypted (with or without Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption done using CryptoJS). TeXZilla rendering of math expressions works only on Mozilla browsers (e.g., Firefox and Seamonkey).
A demo can be found at https://justineuro.github.io/mcQuiz.
One can easily modify the available datasets by editing the question-and-answer data file, e.g., setDat-mc-tz-noaes.js and setDat-mc-tz-aes.js, that are found inside the js folder under the main directory:
- Modify the 2nd and 3rd lines of the question-and-answer data file to add more topics. Simply add entries to the data labels array (
datList) and the topics array (topicsList). - Modify, as needed, the 4th line to set the
aesindicator (0 for no encryption, 1 for AES-encrypted). - Modify the 5th line, as needed, to indicate how math rendering will be done (
texzillafor TeXZilla ormathjaxfor MathJax). - Add the additional datasets at the bottom of question-and-answer data set file (
setDat-mc-tz-aes.js) as arrays. - One may opt to randomize the questions by using the sort() and compare function. See the examples given at the end of each data array already in
setDat-mc-tz-aes.js.
