Assessments

• How to make & upload online assessments & or practice assessments using Examview

ONLINE ASSESSMENTSWhy…?

Make a Test or a Practice Test

Step 1: Open Examview and click “Create a test from scratch”. Name the assessment.

Step 2: Click “Select while viewing”; pick the course you need. Select any questions you want on the practice test or test. NOTE: Best if all are M/C, but short answer, gridded response, etc can be hand graded on tests. Note: you can right click many questions to “calculate values” which keeps the problem with new values. Duplicate is optional also.

Step 3 : Click File, save as, name it & save. THEN “File-EXPORT-> HTML. If practice test, check ALL boxes under “export as study guide” Click “OK” name it SAVE TO DESKTOP (make a folder for all your assessments.

Step 4: When making TESTS, Click “Export as Test”. Put your Formal Name & EMAIL. Check “Show test score to student”. OK, name it & SAVE TO DESKTOP in folder with practice test.

Step 5 : YOU WILL SEE the html assessment AND a FILE that contains all the data. BOTH need to be dragged into web publishing! I recommend a folder named “tests” to store it all.

How to Post your Assessments

1st way: “Create a Button”*Use Powerpoint to make a slide, save it as a “jpeg” to desktop. Drag it directly to your web page & size it. Note: if you know how to resize images thru “Irfanview” do that first. Next, go to Web PubClick Navigation Side Menu Name the test/practice test under display name.Under “Link Path” write the HTML file EXACTLY as it says. For Example : course_1_ch_10_test.htmSave & Close (cursor always to “page linkname”)

Now, open up website & click your link to test. IT should work fine!

Lastly, Copy the URLGo back to Web Pub Right click on test “button” you made & scrool to “make link”. PASTE here & close. Move cursor to top & save & close. Button now clickable way to get to the test.

2nd Idea…Make a TABLE for all Assessments

Note: all steps the same. In table, Write the name of the assessment. Right click, make link the same as above.
