Different Products
In most cases clients ask for products tailor made for their specific needs. However, some of the components tend to be used repeatedly in different applications, and some applications can be used with little modification by others. Here are a few such "products" which can be adapted in little time to suit different people.

An example of the jTest multiple choice online test application can be seen at the link provided. A dummy class has been set up. To try it out email me with a birthdate in the format 19610328 followed by three letters, supposed to be your initials, like jfk. The login code would then be 19610328jfk, I will create a user and email you when you can try the test. Go to the student log in and log in with the code. It is a 20 question general knowledge test. You will see your results when done. Email me when done and I will email you a pdf report of your detailed results showing wrong and right answers.
