QuizPACK stands for "Quizzes for Parameterized Assessment of C Knowledge". QuizPACK is a system, to author and deliver Web-based dynamic parameterized quizzes for programming-related courses. The system uses a parameterized question aproach to fight problems of classic multiple-choice quizzes:

The idea of QuizPACK is simple. A teacher provides the core content of a question: a parameterized fragment of code to be evaluated and an expression that have to be evaluated by the student at the end of the fragment execution. The system does the rest: randomly generates a question parameter, creates a presentation of the parameterized question in a Web-based quiz, gets the student's input, compares the student's answer with the result of running the parameterized code "behind the stage", and records the results into a server-side database.
