Competitive/game quizzes
Competitions are entered by members and marked; winners may then be chosen from the Admin Zone.Example:
The website of a computer games studio could run a competition asking questions about their latest game. The top entrant would win a tour of the games studio headquarters, and three runner ups could win a copy of any game of their choice from their back catalogue.
Tests
Tests are marked as they're completed, and the results sent to the staff e-mail address.Example:
The Mensa website could run a quiz to help determine if candidates have a high enough IQ to join Mensa. The quizzes would be automatically marked and the result given to both the visitor and the Mensa staff.
Surveys
Survey results are collected and available from the Admin Zone.As survey results are stored in the database, experts may use SQL to make statistical calculations on data.
Example:
A teen community could make a survey to find out teen attitudes on various social issues, to help them write a report to the government lobbying for changes to policy.
