Overview Of The Examiner Application

The examiner product will enable the user to answer questions in three   different modes: learner,   asker  and   chooser. The asker and chooser both require  user input and will produce performance statistics for a session. The length and  time of a session is configurable. When a session has been completed it is  possible to review the wrong answers.

  The user can modify existing quizzes or create new quizzes of their own with  the change or new mode. This will enable material to be completely tailored to  the needs of the individual.

  Creating a new quizz.

  Create new quizzes by accessing the File New menu. This will   present a choice of three types of quizzes that can be built. The learner, asker  and chooser. When one is chosen the appropriate question template will appear.  This should be filled in for each question. When completed the "end" button will  return to the main screen.

  Editing a quizz.
  a  quizz can be modified. Once it is loaded the File change option  can be selected from the main menu. This will bring up a list of   questions. Once a question is selected it can be deleted or changed by pressing   the delete or change buttons.

  If the quizz is to be extended then "add" will provide the question template  for more questions to be typed in.

  Running the Asker

  Asker Mode requires the user to input the answer to a question. A number of   questions can be asked in a set amount of time. There are options available to   configure the session.


My Topic

  Setting learner options

  It is possible to configure a learner quizz session by choosing Run Options  from the main menu. The time will be indicated in seconds. This is the   delay between a question being displayed and an answer appearing. This will be  reduced when material becomes more familiar. It is a useful means of introducing  new questions.

  The length of a session is measured in the number of questions which will be  asked before the session is to terminate itself. An entry of "0" will default  to a session of the full file. The questions will be randomised when the   session is run so that the sequence will alter.

  Learner also provides the facility of reversing the question with the answer.  This will only be appropriate for certain types of questions eg languages.
