AUTNIC is a quiz oriented Authoring System developed to enable a course participant or a student to administer a self test or study a subject through quiz. The System can be used in three modes: Administrator; Author; Participant The Administrator mode keeps track of the performance of each participant at each session. Maintenance of log files and report functions are available. The author of the course material can set up questions of the following 3 types:

  1. Multiple choice.
  2. One word answer.
  3. Match the column.

Help-text can be attached with a question to be called up by the student if he needs more information. A series of lessons can be set up within a topic. Upto 100 topics are permitted. Each topic can contain 10000 lessons. Each lesson can contain about 1000 questions. To use the system in the participant mode, a topic within a subject is selected. A participant can select a lesson within a topic. Once the lesson is selected, a quiz is presented in a choice of 2, 3, 5 sessions. The questions for each session are compiled dynamically at run time in a random fashion. Each session contains 20 questions. All sessions are saved. A participant is advised to complete his earlier incomplete sessions before beginning a new one. AUTNIC may be used to design courses on topics such as Computer Science, English grammar and vocabulary, History, Geography, General Awareness, Test of Reasoning, or any other subject where meaningful multiple choice quizzes can be setup. The Authoring System has been developed under Unixware/RDBMS Oracle 7.0.
