[pmwiki-users] New QUIZ feature in ZAP

Just added a slight addition to ZAP's grade extension, making it
possible to both produce a grade value and store quiz answers at the
same time.

As before you can assign any weight to any question (including
negative values to penalize wrong answers), use an array of checkboxes
(for multiple answers), and format it using any scale you want, such
as a A- or F+.

However, now it is possible to simultaneously store a students actual
answers and calculate the grade. This should be a useful tool in
PmWiki for educators...

Cheers,
Dan

PS.  I'm also thinking about adding a reassign extension to ZAP to
make it possible to chain operations and various other complex actions
that cannot be done currently in various situations.  It's very simple
in terms of code (maybe 5-6 lines), but I'm looking for a word for
this command.

reassign?  assign?  poke?  other suggestion?
