Create (interactive) exams with the acrotex education bundle

The Web and Exerquiz Packages are now bundled together under the name "The AcroTeX eDucation Bundle'', which is read as "The AcroTeX Education Bundle''. The word 'eDucation' is meant to connote 'Electronic Education'. The AcroTeX Bundle consists of six components:

1. The Web Package: (Version 4.0g)A LaTeX package to create screen friendly PDF documents from a LaTeX source.
2. The Exerquiz Package: (Version 6.2d) A LaTeX package to create online exercises and interactive quizzes.
3. The eForms Package A (stand alone) LaTeX package that provides all PDF forms support for Exerquiz.
4. The insdljs Package: A LaTeX package to insert Document level JavaScript code from a LaTeX source file.
5. The dljslib Package: A LaTeX package to act as a library of JavaScript functions. The package enables a user to check out one or more of the functions for use in the document. The package requires the insdljs package.
6. The eq2db Package, Version 1.3. A LaTeX package and server-side script. The LaTeX package makes it easy to change a self-contained quiz into one that is submitted to a server-side script. Current eq2db has three "server" options: eqRecord (save quiz results to a database); eqEmail (send quiz results to instructor by Email); and eqText (save quiz data to a tab-delimited file on the server). There is also a new tagged option for sending quiz data as a XML-like string. See the History below.

Note for teacher: You should take a look to the eqExam package for writing exams, tests, quizzes, homework assignments, etc. It is a stand alone package, yet is tightly integrated with the AcroTeX eDucation Bundle and it is also part of the AcroTeX Bundle distribution.

Also (acro)web is interesting for create simple interactive quizzes. This package needs acrobat reader to run properly.
