I tend to use Moodle quiz module for testing in class for years 7 to 10. I tend to have it as an open web test with lots of questions and a limited about of time. The time pressure tends to get kids to actually rely on their own knowledge. The questions are a mixture of short response, closed questions, check boxes and radio button types. The results indicate very little variation from other forms of assessment; therefore this could indicate the validity of this approach.

We have done on line exams for quite some time, particularly in the Mathematics and Business areas. I have always setup "exams" accounts for them. However this strategy will not work with one to one. We already have 4 year levels with laptops and that will become five year levels next year. Whilst this year we have kept four computer rooms, that will not be the case next year, we will probably drop to just one. At this stage we are trying to come up with a solution to the problem, so if anyone has a any suggestion, please share.

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].
