This website was advertised on edublogs. It’s a site that enables you to create impressive looking multi-chocie quizzes with minimum effort. You can base your questions around your own photographs, though I wasn’t able to import mine, probably due to the file size being to big, or images from google. In addition you can embed video from you tube and ask questions about the video clip.
For an example of a quiz look at the link on the right ‘Rates of Reactions’ Quiz.
