  5. Distributing exam codes electronically using TSIM • Teacher can dynamically and electronically distribute codes to students using TSIM mechanism,: • students can go to the test login page directed by the teacher waiting for test codes. • teacher can dynamically, through TSIM teacher-interface, distribute exam codes to student to take a test just by clicking one button: ‘Distribute Test Codes’. • then every student can see her code inside a box of her login page to be entered to start the exam. • the teacher has the control over publishing/hiding test codes at any time. 03/03/2008

  8. Teacher-Student Interaction Mechanism (TSIM) • Through TSIM ‘teacher-interface’, the teacher can use the ‘message window’ interface to: • send instruction/help messages to his/her students. • watch/monitor incoming help messages from students. • send general messages to all students or private to one or small group of students. • support general messages such as instructions for test or specific regarding a question. • The teacher has two ways of sending instruction/help messages to students: • Through ‘message window’ to send general or private messages. • Live grading administration interface to send immediate message to student for clarification, etc. 03/03/2008

  9. Teacher-Student Interaction Mechanism (TSIM) • Through TSIM ‘student interface’, a student can: • ask for help from the teacher privately without raising hand. • just click a ‘help button’ beside each question, and her message will be sent. • no text-messaging for students: wasting exam’s time! • just one click and student will be helped. 03/03/2008

  17. Improved Authoring Tool • Old way: • teacher has to distribute test codes manually in class to her students. • support only one display type: display test questions using random questions and non-random options. . • using infix only to enter formulas/equations. • New way: • Through ‘message window’ to send general or private messages. • teacher now can distribute test codes electronically in class to her students using TSIM: saving time and effort. • support three types of display test questions using: • by given order only. • all random: random questions/random options. . • random questions/non-random options. • introduce use of MathEdit to enter and edit formulas/equations. 03/03/2008

  18. Improved Authoring Tool

  19. Improved Authoring Tool

  20. Improved Test Taking Interface Two student views: (all questions vs. one question per page)

  21. Improved Grading Administration System • Old way: • primitive text-messaging feature. • no real electronic system for interactions between teacher and students. • no printing (no hard copy) of student results. • New way: • introduce a capable system (TSIM system) to reliably support live interactions and communications between teacher and students (message-window). • adding more live features. • adding printing capability of student test results in two ways: • results listed by student name. • results listed by question. 03/03/2008

  22. Improved Grading Administration System Print test results by student

  23. Improved Grading Administration System Print test results by question

  24. DMAS System and MathEdit • Old way: • using infix only to enter formulas/equations. • no Math editor involved. • New way: • introducing use of MathEdit to enter and edit formulas/equations. • will use MathEdit in two modes: • teacher mode. • student mode. • call MathEdit APIs to author, edit, or get Math expressions. • DMAS gets different MathML strings returned by MathEdit and: • Infix code. • Presentation Mode. • Content mode. • DMAS stores MathML strings returned by MathEdit in the database for future display, editing, or computation (e.g. answer-checking): 03/03/2008
