It is freeware from the University of Victoria in Canada."

2. "Try the Teachers Quiz Centre at www.discoveryschool.com Look in

I use the Discovery School site."

3. "I think the same program you were using is located at
http://quizstar.4teachers.org/"

4. "Have a look at : http://www.shambles.net/pages/learning/ict/quiz/"

5. "One of my teachers uses www.4teachers.org <http://www.4teachers.org> .
