Question Bank Website

[Dane5DB8]

Hello Community!

I am a Doctor looking to create a multiple choice question bank website for medical students. They would need to be able to select which discipline and the number of questions they want to be tested on. The question data would need to come from a form that I could easily enter. I have attached some examples of the sort of thing I want to do. My question is whether this can be done on Dreamweaver and if anyone has any resources that may help me achieve this? Thank you!

The short answer is Dreamweaver can build it if you can code it.  So while you can make that in DW it would require coding expertise to do so.

My instinct says that you may need to look into a solution like Survey Monkey ( https://www.surveymonkey.com ) or TypeForm ( https://www.typeform.com ) for this, but I don't know about the randomization of questions from a bank as I haven't had much experience.  I would reach out to those companies and see if they can fulfill your need.

On the surface this may seem simple but it's actually rather complicated.  At a minimum, you'll need the following:

1) a backend database to hold categories, QAs, session IDs, date & time, results, usernames and passwords,

2) a registration system for new users,

3) a secure log-in system for users and admins,

4) a backend content management system for adding/editing/deleting QAs and other administrative tasks,

5) programming to query database, randomize and display requested number of questions,

6) programming to save results, score results and optionally provide feedback to users,

7) front end coding to make it look presentable on all devices.

As I write this, I'm wondering if an existing e-learning/exam platform might be a better fit.  There's no sense re-inventing the wheel.
