Question difficulty indicator: A statistics is made after every quiz to determine how many times
every question appeared and how many times it was solved correctly. The reciprocal ratio of
these two numbers is the difficulty indicator. One is the easiest question, and zero is the most
difficult one. This indicator is updated continuously every time the system is used.
The link to the associated figure with the question (or video clip), if any: This is a self explanatory.
The data structure representation of the question is made flexible through linked lists structure to
accommodate any further data fields addition that may be needed in the future.
4. Interactive Smart-Quiz system
The Smart-Quiz system (SQS) is developed in Java language J2ME version. This gives it the
advantage of being portable to any Java ready set. Those sets are commonly available to the
students nowadays such as laptops, mini e-machines, (i/A)Pads, and Java ready cell phones. Every
student is allowed to have the SQS on his/her set where they can use it to ready themselves for the
class activities and to use it in and outside the classroom. It is made available through an open
wireless communication channel with the instructor set. The SQS is offering a user-friendly graphic
user interface and starts by asking the students to insert and verify their personal information. In this
process, the students have to fill an electronic checklist of the quiz about checking their readiness and
allowing them to submit any bonus granting extra efforts such as research or journal on the quiz
subject. Screen shots of the SQS are shown in Figure 1 below.
