Socrative is an online platform that allows a teacher to put questions to students through an app on their smart phone or tablet. In existence since 2011, its use is now quite common in university teaching. But is Socrative any good? This article reviews the literature on the device and discusses my research on the use of the app, the first…

Student is often lazy when it comes to studying, and how to motivate student was one of the problem in the educational world. To overcome the matters, we will implement the gamification method into an Academic Information System. Academic Information System is a software used for providing information and arranging administration which connected…

A computer-assisted examination program, written in TUTOR for PLATO IV at the School of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Illinois College of Medicine, is discussed. The system is automated from the scheduling and delivery of basic medical examinations to the analysis of student performance data. (RAO)

Two mutually supporting computer programs for scheduling final examinations are described. One checks quickly for conflicts in course combinations for examination times, and the other generates a complete, conflict-free exam schedule with appropriate room sizes and types. (MSE)

Discusses some prominent applications available today for most microcomputer systems, including: teaching computing to all students, the computer as a problem solving tool, games, drill and practice, simulation, and testing. (Author)

This article describes how one commercially available system, the Classroom Teacher Support System (CTSS), has been adapted to an individualized nursing program for computer assisted testing. (RAO)

This paper outlines: the importance of clinical assessment of speechreading; problems in assessment of speechreading, such as intertalker differences and lack of correlation with other traits; issues in measuring change in speechreading performance; viseme scoring on open-ended response tasks; new approaches to the speechreading assessment; and…

A national survey of policies and procedures concerning college final examination scheduling found most have a formal schedule, most do not use an automated scheduling system or any priority when assigning examinations, more than half use "special" examination scheduling, and registrars or assistant registrars are most commonly…

Microcomputer-managed examination scheduling at the University of Calgary (Canada) has two stages. The first uses mathematical methods to create a timetable that is conflict-free, uses a minimum number of periods, and minimizes the number of students with multiple exams in one day. An interactive stage allows the examination officer to accommodate…

Discusses the use of the Interactive Computer-based Testing (ICBT) in university-level science courses as an effective and economical educational tool. The authors discuss: (1) major objectives to ICBT; (2) advantages and pitfalls of the student use of ICBT; and (3) future prospects of ICBT. (HM)

Describes a "gradebook program" capable of recording, editing, recoding, weighting, and scaling multiple choice test scores. (SK)

Presents a technical description of Radio Shack's TRS-80 microcomputer system. Storage and memory are discussed, as well as limitations of the system and a sample program for coding and scoring true-false questions is given. (RAO)

This report provides a brief introduction to microcomputer technology and discusses five uses of microcomputers in classroom testing: item storage, test assembly, test administration, test scoring, and test score reporting and analysis. It focuses on the testing applications of microcomputer technology. (PN)

With respect to the design of cooperative systems, issues related to the fundamental communication channels, sociotechnical factors, and task characteristics associated with collaborative work situations are reviewed. Research strategies incorporating theory-motivated design, ethnographic methods, and controlled testing methods are discussed as a…

Discusses the use of tests in counseling with emphasis on three critical issues: (1) orientation of clients to the use of tests, (2) client involvement in the testing process, and (3) communication of test information to improve the quality of client thinking and problem solving. (Author)
