School Organization • Adapting network (cheating, copying..) • Setup examination room with PC’s • System requirements (install and test CD-rom) • Data transport online • More successive sessions: training! • Software available at home
Added Value? • More visualization possible • Multi-media, animations, measuring possibilities • Data-processing • Testing larger range of skills: ICT, experimentation. • Try-out options, ‘self’-corrective: → questions more open, adressing problem-solving capacity! • Realistic, less ‘artificial step-by step’ problems
