- WordPerfect Interactive Testing System lets you create and
- administer multiple-choice testing questions, and track each
- student's progress, scores, and history. It also lets you
- determine the points per question, the number of points required
- to pass, and who is permitted to take the test.
-
- For information on deleting the sample data in WITS, see the
- file titled README.APP.
-
- You may copy and modify this database for your own or your
- company's use. You may not copy the database and resell it.
- Please be aware that while WordPerfect Corporation provides
- support on DataPerfect questions, only limited support is
- available for these predefined databases. No support is
- available for the databases if they have been modified.
-
- PANELS
- WordPerfect Interactive Testing System database was created with
- a built-in menu to make navigating easier, and security measures
- to make it difficult for non-authorized people to access. The
- main menu allows access to one or two submenus, depending upon
- the User ID and Password you enter as you enter the database.
- The first time you enter the database, you may press Enter to
- bypass the User ID, and Enter again to bypass the Password.
-
- MENU OPTIONS
- If you entered the database as Definer, you will see two
- menu options. The first time you use the database, you should
- specify Definer and Supervisor passwords (press Shift-F9, 5),
- then you should define Teachers and Students from the Teacher
- menu. Select option 1 to input information for each individual,
- then select Teacher Menu option 5 to assign a security level (see
- Teacher Menu option 5 below).
-
- Student Menu Options
- Student Menu option 1 lets you take one or more tests. The
- tests are part of a report which queries the database to see
- if you are authorized by the teacher to take a test. If you
- are authorized, you can select one of the tests listed or
- cancel. If you do not cancel, the test is given.
-
- Student Menu option 2 lets you review and correct your
- answers.
-
- Student Menu option 3 verifies your answers and scores the
- test.
-
- Student Menu option 4 lets you review your personal
- information, including test scores. You cannot change
- information in this panel.
-
- Student Menu option 5 lets you change your password. The
- default password, which is assigned when the Teacher inputs
- information from Teacher Menu option 1, is NEW. Each
- student should use Student Menu option 5 to change the
- password to assure privacy.
-
- Teacher Menu Options
- Teacher Menu option 1 lets you enter or edit a student's or
- teacher's information (name, address, User ID, Social
- Security Number, and Phone). When a record is created in
- this panel, a matching User ID record is also created. Once
- you assign Definer and Supervisor passwords to the database,
- only a registered student, teacher, or the Definer or
- Supervisor can enter the database. You should instruct the
- students and teachers to change their password from the
- default NEW to another word to maintain security in the
- database.
-
- Teacher Menu option 2 lets you create or edit tests. Press
- Down Arrow while the cursor is on the Questions box to see
- questions you have already defined--you can edit the
- question, answer, points, or comments. Enter a number in
- the Passing Score field that determines a Pass or Fail.
-
- Teacher Menu option 3 lets you authorize tests for students
- to take. Press F6 to edit an existing record, or press F9
- to create a new record. The record is deleted after the
- student grades the test.
-
- Teacher Menu option 4 lets you view the students' test
- results.
-
- Teacher Menu option 5 lets you adjust the security levels
- for each registered user. Level 1 lets the user access the
- Student Menu, Level 2 lets the user access the Teacher menu.
-
- A student exiting the Student menu is exited from DataPerfect. A
- teacher exiting either menu is taken to the list of databases.
