COMPUTERIZED TEST QUESTION DATABASE PROJECT FINAL REPORT

Abstract

The Computerized Test Question Database project was initiated with two objectives. First was to design and implement a computerized test question database which would allow instructors to construct examinations based on a number of question selection criteria. Second was to create and classify a large set of test questions for CPSC 203. The activities undertaken concentrated in three area: course definition, software specification and search, and question bank development. The course definition phase attempted to identify the instructional objectives of CPSC 203. The software specification phase determined what characteristics were desired in a computer program to maintain a test question database. Available commercial programs were compared and the results are described. The question bank development phase converted existing test questions and publisher testbank questions to use with new software, and created new test questions.
