Course Elements:
Exams & Quizes
 

Exams and quizes which are posted on-line (either on your Web page or through a mass e-mail distribution) will be, in effect, open-book tests. And you will never know for sure who else might be sitting in front of the computer screen writing the answers. If closed-book exams and quizes are essential, you will need to do those in a traditional classroom setting. 

Software is available for on-line objective tests. To use this, consider these issues:

  • Whether your course material lends itself to objective tests
  • Whether the on-line tests are solely for students to get immediate feedback or for part of their formal grade for the course
  • Whether the results are meaningful if you assume the test is open-book
  • Whether your campus can support your use of this software
