Quizmaker results to a database

I spent a couple of hours the other day looking at, and trying out the instruction in this forum post by Joep on the Articulate Community forums and I must say, it is pretty impressive what he has done.Joe has created a C# web application that will capture results from Articulate Quizmaker quizzes and store them in a SQL database.
See the original post here:
Quiz to database, instructions and code
Below I have listed some initial impressions.
Positives:
- Probably more reliable than sending results via email (because of technical limitations of browsers and email clients)
- If you have a free Windows Server with IIS the cost is only the time it takes to setup
Drawbacks:
- Requires a Windows Server with IIS
- Pretty technically challenging to setup (not for novice non-IT people)
- Requires modification to the quizmaker.html file after each publish
- Only works in IE (at least it didn't work for me in Firefox, but if you are using a Windows Server with IIS you probably likely in an environment that requires IE)
- Doesn't match the feature set you will get from Articulate Online or an LMS
Good work Joe!

If you ever need to spice up your presentations with photos, but are lacking good stock photography, and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for photos, check out stock.xchng.Stock.xchng is a site that distributes FREE stock photography. This is a pretty good resource for anyone looking for stock photos for presentations or web design.

Most of the photos do have some limitations on what they can be used for, but most of the limitations are pretty minor (like notifying the creator if used publicly).
