Overview of ExamOnline

Creating questions

Questions are created and tested in the question editor. The question editor lets you select the question type (multiple choice, gap-fill, etc), enter the text and any images etc, and specify the correct answers and any feedback. You can then preview the question, exactly as it will appear to the candidate during a test. If the question is an automatically marked question, you can also test the marking from the preview tab.

Setting up questions is easy, but you will also be pleasantly surprised by just how powerful the marking can be in ExamOnline. For example, you can set up a numeric question to give:

• two marks for an answer of 5
• but only one mark for an answer between 4.5 and 5.5

Click to view.

Or you can set up a gap-fill question to give:

• 2 marks for 'right atrium'
• 1 mark for just 'atrium'
• no marks 'left atrium'

Click to view Note that in this example, the 'RA' answer has been configured to be case sensitive, i.e. 'RA' is an acceptable answer, but 'ra' is not.

Creating tests

In traditional paper-based assessment, candidates are presented with a test paper which contains the questions to be answered and any associated instructions. In ExamOnline, the term  test document is used, but the concept is the same. Test documents are created using the test editor, and questions are inserted into the test document.  You may also include and format instructions in your online test, just as you might for a paper-based test.

Schedule tests for delivery

As the name suggests, scheduling a test means specifying a future time window when the test will be available to a particular group of candidates, and ExamOnline makes this simple. The Test Schedule Window is split into 4 sections :

• Schedule: this is where you set the time period the test will be available for, and the duration of the test;
• Candidates: This is where you specify which candidates can take the test;
• Results: This is where you indicate whether candidates should be shown their results or not at the end of the test;
• Advanced Options: additional settings, such as whether or not to show a page of instructions before the test begins, and whether candidates can log back in once they have logged out.

You can move your mouse over the  help icon for detailed help when setting the options.

View test results and export them for further analysis

ExamOnline makes it easy to view test results and export them for further analysis. You can view results in summary, detail, and graphical modes, and you can export the results to Microsoft Excel with a single click. If you want to export the results to your own VLE or other software, talk to us about it.
