Question Mark Perception (QMP) is a web-based interactive assessment tool which facilitates the creation, delivery, tracking and management of online assessments, quizzes and surveys. The assessments created in Question Mark Perception may be delivered through any web-based environment including the internet and school or college intranet sites. A wide variety of question formats are supported including multiple-choice, true/false, missing word, ordering, complex matching and hotspot styles. The questions and associated tracking database are stored on a central server and accessed by students through a standard browser window on a PC with internet access. Student performance and progress can then be monitored by tutors with secure online access to the database.

It is a mature product which can be blended with traditional or online teaching methods and is compatible with the university's current learning systems and integrates well with our current VLE (BlackBoard).
