- Currently offer a choice for University of Dundee academics of:
- Blackboard VLE (Level 1 at present, upgrading to Enterprise LS, March
2003)
- QuestionMark Perception (2500 users, 20 authors)
- I-Assess (pilot licence only)
- Range of additional tools used on an individual (historical) basis

- Browser-based, straightforward to use, relatively clumsy, but soon to be
improved. Appropriate for weekly tests, quick quizzes. Not supported as
secure assessment platform, but some instructors may use it as such.

- Central system is web version. Either browser-based or Windows-based
(greater flexibility) authoring of questions.
- Has long history at Dundee
- Like many systems, the licence costs are a small component of the
service costs.
- QMP is rapidly proving very successful. Can be used as a simple or
complex system
- Perception Secure Browser is a nice tool. Lock down workstation and very
useful for exams.

- A relatively new assessment tool from EQL in Livingston, Scotland. No
browser-based editing, but a powerful Windows-based editor that permits
production of a range of types of questions.
- Particularly strong mathematical and scientific support. The ability to
use �random values� within questions is extremely useful for supporting
numerical assessment and tuition.
- Not likely to replace QMP or Blackboard. It runs on IIS under Windows
2000 Server so can go on the same servers as QMP. Demonstration?

- Additional Issues �
- Systems need to be carefully managed with published policies and
procedures
- Generating good Qs is a very demanding activity for busy academics
- Range of smaller CAA programs are also essential for some L&T
- Resources may be limiting (PCs, servers, database transfers, software,
staff)
