| dc.description.abstract | One way to assess student's progress In a course is to give a quiz. However, this takes up valuable instruction time from limited lecture schedules. The quiz management system (QMS) is designed to allow users to access an instructor-created quiz over the World Wide Web (WWW) using a WWW browser that is frame-capable. This system would allow instructors to assign quizzes to be taken outside of lecture time on the Internet, which would allow them more lecture time. This system also allows users to access the quiz from anywhere in the world as long as their computer could connect to the Internet and the browser was compatible with the quiz files. QMS was developed using HTML (hyper text markup language), Win-CGI (Windows Common Gateway Interface), and Borland Delphi programming language. This system is composed of two components which interact with one another. The first component is created by the instructor who wishes to use the QMS and consists of two files: the question HTML file and the text answer file. The question file is created in an HTML or text editor to include the questions and instructions for the desired quiz, and must be formatted using HTML source code. The answer file is a text file which contains only the answers to the quiz. The second component of QMS is the quiz engine, written in Delphi, a programming language, that can access information from the instructor's files to dynamically create a quiz on demand for administration over the WWW. The quiz engine will read an instructor's quiz file, interpret it, and encode the quiz file information so that the student can access the quiz on the Internet and receive a grade and feedback. This quiz system allows password security of the question and answer files so that those files cannot be modified or be seen by unauthorized persons. This system was tested by potential users and instructors. | en |
