We have been doing selected exams on the computer quite successfully in both IPT and ITS as well as in the Middle School. We use a separate "exam" login for the students so that we restrict their access to their personal network folder and other personal resources. We are also able to restrict access to the internet or Blackboard if desired. Blackboard provides some very good opportunities for multiple choice and short response questions. The multiple choice, true/ false, fill-in-the-blank questions are all self-marking on Blackboard. What a bonus for some middle school exams. Programming questions in IPT and HTML and design questions in ITS work very well online.

At the end of the exam copy these to a write only location that students can't access so you have a copy of them. Some people like to lock the exam accounts after the exam. I like to have control of the exam accounts because there are usually students who have to do the exam at different times - I can put exams in the accounts and take them out as needed. If you give them Internet access during an exam you have to be extremely vigilant in your supervision. It can be done but it's difficult to ensure the integrity of the exam. Cheers, Kym -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rex Boggs Sent: Wednesday, 25 May 2011 5:07 AM To: QSITE ICT Teachers Subject: [qsiteict] IPT Exams done in Word, and with Structorizer With the exception of the end-sem exam last year, all of my "written" IPT exams have been done with pen/pencil and paper, and with NS Diagrams and CSDs hand-drawn. What I am thinking about doing this term is having the students do the written exam (on programming) in a computer room, using Word, and using the on-line version of Structorizer to do their NS-Diagrams, or at least the more complex ones. The students will be using separate exam accounts and not their own school accounts, and will need Internet access to use Structorizer. Has anyone does this before? Can anyone see any problems that might arise? Cheers Rex --- You are currently subscribed to qsiteict as: [email protected].
