A Multiple-Choice Quiz made with JBC

This is a typical JBC quiz. In this window, there is a reading text. The reading text may be entered directly into the JBC program by choosing File/Add Reading Text, or it may be an external HTML file that you created in some other way (you can import a file from the Add Reading Text screen). Alternatively, you may choose not to include a reading text at all. Four of the Hot Potatoes applications allow you to include a reading text. This reading text also has a timer running. This is also optional. When the full time has elapsed, the reading text will disappear (although the user will be able to get it back by pressing a special button which appears). If you do include a timer, you can choose the number of minutes before the text disappears. On the other side of the screen, there are two frames. The top frame is the Welcome/Help frame. This frame includes some navigation buttons (see below). It is also used to display two different types of information: 1. The initial "Welcome" message that the user sees when he or she first loads your quiz, along with instructions for doing the quiz. 2. The feedback the user will see after pressing one of the answer buttons. The bottom frame on the other side contains the questions. If you don't include a reading text, the two frames on the other side take up all of the browser window. At the bottom of the question frame, you will see three navigation buttons. These are optional, but they can be very useful in helping your users to navigate around a large site or work through a sequence of exercises (as in this Web site). One button is a "back" button, taking you back to wherever you came from, one takes you to an index or contents page, and the other takes you on to the next exercise or page in a sequence.
