Turns out, it's free for K-12 teachers only.  My bad, but good for you if the

Val,

It's old and unsupported, but If you can code php there are "some good bones" 
in Quirex.  http://www.thomastsoi.com/software/quirex/
I put it through a bunch of modifications and used it for years, just retired 
it a year or so ago for less useful and functional software.

If your institution uses courseware (sakai/blackboard) you might be able
to piggy back on that.

[CODE4LIB] quiz software

2014-09-16 Thread Valerie Forrestal 

Hello friends! I was wondering if anyone could point me towards
web-based open source software for library instruction that would let me
administer quizzes, grade the quizzes and return a score, and then,
preferably, keep some basic statistics. We're looking into a Google
Forms/Spreadsheets hack, but I didn't know if there was anything a bit
more elegant out there that could do the job.

Thanks
