QUICZ is a very simple format for creating multiple choice questions based on markdown syntax with clear human-readability in mind. Repo comes with conversion scripts.
QUICZ aims to allow anyone to:
- create learning material
- while you are learning
- with minimal distraction
- in plain text
QUICZ goals are to:
- stick to the basics
- be useful and readable in plain text
- provide conversion to multiple standards and platforms
The name QUICZ comes from 'quiz'.
I came up with the the quicz format when I was in need of learning a lot and learning it fast. While ploughing through the material, I wanted to simultanously generate learning content like multiple choice questions on the fly to use them later in Moodle LMS or other learning management system or flashcard software.
Over the years, I have defaulted to markdown for most of my writing and note taking. I find it easy and intuitive to write. One thing lead to another and I merged my immediate need with my comfort zone.
Here is an example of a valid multiple choice question in the quicz format:
