Alright, I have made my first attempts at creating a Flash game and quiz. I used a simple drag and drop script we had in Flash class to make a human body game. I think this type of game might be useful to learn about the organs of the body. My game is really simple, but I can see how if expanded upon, this could be an effective learning tool. Check it out here.
Also, I did a lot of research on how to make a quiz in Flash and found a good tutorial here. Again, it is a very simple quiz application, but it could be good for a site used as a supplement to other classroom tools. The tutorial used an xml file to control the content and an Actionscript file to control how the quiz functioned and looked. I had to use questions that were short because I could not figure out how to wrap the text from an XML file in Actionscript (P.S. Does anyone know how to do that?). Check out the quiz here.

While the game is simple so far, the art work is detailed and very good. I think that the concept works well, too. I am in the same boat as you with finishing the site versus creating everything I want the way I want it.
It all looks great and the game was fun, too.

I download the zip file you create flash quiz with it, but I still don’t know how to make a flash quiz with it.
Alternatively, i think you could make flash quiz with some quiz tool, no programming skills required, such as QuizCreator (http://elearning-zone.blogspot.com).

Hi there! Thank you for the response! I really liked the link you sent me (may have been misspelled the word “creator” in the link). I took a sample quiz of theirs. I like that the quiz integrated music and a interactive map feature. I’d like to able to build something like that myself in Flash. Right now I’ve just been able to do simple quizzes in Flash, but hopefully I will progress.
It looks like you have a lot of great tips on your blog about e-Learning; I’m going to have to check those out further. Thanks again for your comments!

I like the quiz and the drag and drop game. It’s a fun way to learn and very creative. The game reminds me of a fruit game I made where you mix and match the fruit and then it pops up a drink recipe for you. You did a great job!
