Solar System
Quiz This quiz utilizes server side script which is not delivered to the
browser. Therefore, this represents a higher level of security.

Quiz.
Solar System Quiz with Email Option This is the same quiz as above
but with the added option to email the score to an instructor. In this case the
student enters the instructor's email address, so you may send the score to your email
address (just to test the function). The script could be designed to automatically
send the score to a set address, or a page could be designed with buttons to click
for various instructor addresses. Unlike the JavaScript quizzes above, this script
does not require the user's computer to be configured for email. This is a distinct
advantage when students are using a shared computer, such as in a computer lab. In
fact, there is no real requirement for the user to have an email address (the user can
enter a fictitious address and the script will still function).

encrypted so that it is not possible to find them in the source code. In addition,
the authoring is simplified because the script is created by CourseBuilder.
