VizQuiz, a multimedia vehicle for test and homework evaluation, is a computer program for Microsoft Windows that allows students to take a quiz at a computer much as they would take a quiz on paper, but with the added advantage that color graphics, animations, and video clips can be included in the questions. Four types of questions are available: multiple choice, grouped binary choice, one word text answer, and single numeric answer. At the instructor's option, one or more spelling errors can be forgiven in text-answer questions. Accuracy and precision (significant figures) can be judged separately in numerical answer questions. Control of student access, grading, and grade recording are all handled by the computer with a minimum of human intervention.
In addition to multimedia capability, the program can provide hints, remedial feedback, worked out solutions or explanations, and instantaneous grading. It has been used and tested in the general chemistry programs at SUNY at Buffalo and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Hardware and Software Requirements
Software in Series D of JCE: Software requires Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or later and associated hardware as defined by Microsoft. We recommend an IBM PC or compatible computer with an 80386 or higher processor, a minimum of 4 MB of memory, a hard disk, one 3.5-in. floppy disk drive to install the software, a mouse, and a Windows-compatible graphics card (such as a VGA or a SVGA adapter) with a compatible color monitor. DOS version 5.0 or later is highly recommended.
VizQuiz requires about 1 MB of free hard disk space plus space for any quizzes and quiz data.
