By Roger Strukhoff
Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

NEW YORK, July 9 /PRNewswire/ -- College instructors now have the capability to quickly access millions of questions and deliver them in the form of student quizzes via iPod. McGraw-Hill Higher Education, a premier provider of print and digital teaching and learning solutions for the post- secondary and higher education markets, is the first major educational publisher to offer college-level content for the iQuiz game application, recently launched by Apple and designed for iPod. iQuiz is available from the iTunes Store for $.99 and works with all fifth generation iPods.

Any instructor who uses McGraw-Hill Higher Education's EZ Test Online program can create and deliver multiple-choice or true/false quiz questions using iQuiz for iPod. EZ Test Online combines high quality content with the ability to prepare and deliver tests to students in a variety of ways. To set up and deliver a quiz to students via iPod, instructors simply press the iQuiz button in EZ Test Online to export a quiz ready for use with iQuiz. Once students download the quiz into their iPod, they can use the interactive iQuiz to practice and learn the content specific for their course. Students can quickly self-assess and receive their quiz scores instantly.

"McGraw-Hill continues to adapt its content to the latest technologies, providing new and more interactive ways to enhance instruction and student learning, and help drive academic achievement," said Jeremy Singer, president of McGraw-Hill Higher Education Digital Products. "The content that McGraw- Hill offers through EZ Test Online and now iQuiz is just one more example of how we're developing learning solutions that meet the needs of students, regardless of their different learning styles. And with advancements in how today's students learn, delivering McGraw-Hill content to iPod supports students' needs for mobile learning tools."

EZ Test Online is accessible to busy instructors virtually anywhere via the Web, and the program eliminates the need for them to install test software. EZ Test Online may be used with McGraw-Hill textbooks, which are available in hundreds of academic courses. It gives instructors access to hundreds of textbook question banks and millions of questions when creating their tests and quizzes. When tests are created and delivered with EZ Test Online, each one is immediately scored, saving instructors valuable time and allowing them to quickly give test feedback to students. EZ Test Online meets all of the needs of instructors and supports their increasing expectation for ubiquitous availability of content and services. The program was specially built to serve high volumes of students, providing reliable and stable service when large numbers of tests are delivered simultaneously.
