IDQuiz is a free online quizzing program stocked with all the quizzes in QuizWik -- almost 30,000. It is designed for classrooms or reading groups. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of AR and RC, it does give the teacher a lot of flexibility in giving book quizzes to students and tracks the student's progress on quizzes using reading level and lexile. Students take the quizzes supervised, or at home. Plus, it's way more fun that paper and pencil!
Teachers must be verified members of QuizWik to sign up. Read more at http://www.QuizWik.com/IDQuiz.aspx.
