Note: The test will be hidden from students by default, so you need to clearly show (publish) it to students through step 5 below.
- Generate Test Codes for your students by the option
Create test codes and follow the code form to set up your code types/preferences, and then 'store codes' in the database.
- To publish (show) a test to your students, choose the link
Publish a test and follow the given link to your own 'Test Page'.
- To start a test, go to your own 'Test Page' URL given by the following link:
http://wme.cs.kent.edu/kimpton/assessment/your_userid.php
For example, if your userid is abcdef your test page address will be:
http://wme.cs.kent.edu/kimpton/assessment/abcdef.php So give your (generated) test codes to your students so they can start the on-line test.
- The students can go to your page's URL as indicated above and login using their codes. Taking a test is an accumulative process, meanning that student can sumbit/save her answers in question-by-question basis. Answers can also be submitted all at once.
