Quiz / Survey Module
Development and Programming
I just wanted to bring the discussion from this thread over to where it should probably live.
We’re finishing up a pretty sophisticated module that would allow assessments of all kinds and sizes to be created and managed within EE.
Any feature request or suggestions are welcome.
I think something essential is: • being able to deploy to member groups. • and a decent dashboard to track things like % completion, score, etc.. So maybe you’d have a table that listed all members in the assigned member group. You’d be able to see who had completed the quiz. Who hadn’t. What their score was. What percentage they completed before stopping. • the ability to save a quiz midway through and return at a later date.
OMG, i sooooooooo want this. It’s something I have been wishing for for AGES. Ultimately my use cases are mostly small polls (but more than one question – hence LG Polls isn’t a fit), so i don’t have a lot of demanding requirements. Jason’s suggestions are good though!
I’ve attached a sample of our Tag and Variable documentation along with some screenshots of the current Module.
I think it will give everyone a good idea of the level of capability.
We’ve also built a “quick quiz” method along with the ability to take complete control over every piece of the puzzle.
We’ve been so busy with implementing this thing with clients that we haven’t had the time to really offer it except to a few folks by direct contact. I got a few emails last week – maybe this will force me to get the ball rolling.
Let me know what you think or what questions I can answer.
Thanks.

Most definitely this is a good module to get the ball rolling on. It’s been needed for a while!
This sounds exciting and I could use this on a client site whenever it’s ready. Thanks for building this.
Do you have a an idea when this might be ready for testing or download?
Thanks!
yea, i am so ready for this!
Ready when you are..😊
Let me say I would like this very much:)
Another vote for this. Its much needed and would be an interesting competitor to the forth coming Freeform Pro.
Count me in! This would be a huge help.
My organization desperately needs this kind of functionality. Let me know if there’s any way I can help.
Just to provide an update - at this point in time we’ve got a client that is negotiating with us to buy the outright rights to module. I don’t think we’ll go that route but I’m being forced to entertain the idea.
For those of you who are interested and have contacted me I’m sorry for any delays.
I know quite a few of you had clients that have been clamoring for this kind of capability and were interested in it for educational or corporate training. If that describes you, then please contact me directly because I can use your requests to help direct this to the community instead of one client.
Thanks and again I apologize for the delays.
I certainly vote for bringing this to the community and I’ve already let you know my intentions to buy it if you ever do decide to go the route of reselling it.
I’ve yet to have a client with a budget to actually allow me to build this type of module, but have had multiple occasions where I would have bought this. Great to know - definitely bookmarking this thread!
