[ISLMA-Share] AR?

Thu Apr 6 11:42:42 CDT 2017

Yes, I use ReadnQuiz.  I write quizzes for them all the time and they post
them within a day or so. VERY accommodating.  It's so much cheaper and we
have been happy with it for the past 6 years.
They now have reports and many more options from when they started.
