I am a computer science teacher, who has developed online
tools I would like to share with all teachers who use computers
and/or whose students use computers in the classroom.

ALL the below is regarding files and
directories at http://home.att.net/~online_tools/

Go to the page Tdynamicwebs.html if you want to see several
teaching tools for PC and Internet Explorer 5 (5.5)+ only
(the Table of Contents builder and Links viewer at the top work
automatically on ANY web page, though for the Table of Contents
your page must use <h1>, <h2>, ... tags).
The source code for the T of C and Links viewer
is at toc2c2t.js -- that one file provides
all the functionality. Just see the nature of the links at the
top of Tdynamicwebs.html page to see what to do there -- easy!!

----------
----------


Stuff for everyone, cross-browser, cross-platform:

IN THE DIRECTORY: NOnline_Test_Bldg_Kit7/
(i.e. in http://home.att.net/~online_tools/NOnline_Test_Bldg_Kit7/ )
see:

Brief_Directions.txt (yes, this will display in a browser)

and

MUST_READ_NEW_INSTR.txt (again, read it in your browser)

Try out a test made with this system with:

NSSample.html (in that same directory)

(and, delete_cookies.html is there for you to use)

THEN, MAKE YOUR OWN TEST!! :

Encrypt your answer set with

cipher7.html

and use

TestBuilder7.html

to build a test.

(All you need then is the appropriate NSenc7.js file OR
enc7.js file (IN the following zip) and you can build your
own online tests and put your these automatically-built,
self-scoring, secure tests up on your ordinary Internet site!!)
(All this is easier and faster than simply typing a test in Word.
You save all reproduction time/costs and all grading time. And,
you need to know NO html or anything.)

These tests are fill in the blank, drop-down, multiple choice or
checkbox items -- any combination you want to use!!
Built automatically, secure for class use, scored automatically. <--
Really
(In short, this TestBuilder, etc. makes test with a variety of items!)

It is the easiest way on Earth to make and do testing and it is
all free,
no ads, not catches. Get the whole kit via:
http://home.att.net/~online_tools/NOnline_Test_Bldg_Kit7.zip

---------

For the automatic scoring of regular, typical multiple choice tests
see:


PCScorer.htm (PC version)
(i.e. at http://home.att.net/~online_tools/PCScorer.htm )

and

MacScorer.htm (MAC version)
(i.e. at http://home.att.net/~online_tools/MacScorer.htm )

--------

For an example of dynamic maps that can be made with Flash
(cross-platform and cross-browser) see:

Dear Teachers,

I guess I should add that all the html files and the js file (found
in the zip) must go in the same folder as your web page.

No special business site is needed and no cgi (or "server
rights") are needed for the NS option. An ordinary web site will do.
Many of us do not get a lot of cooperation from our districts.

Perhaps I should note the motivation for the main testing system
available on my site. I have written the following to some individual
teachers:

Dear [teacher]

I have always been interested in providing computer science teachers
with a way of testing online that requires no cgi and at the same time
automatically scores the tests. I have accomplished this using
JavaScript
alone. Making use of encryption, time stamping, and cookies, I have
come
up with JavaScript online tests that work from any ordinary web site
(NO cgi rights required). The security is excellent; cheating
practically
(by any practical workable means) IMPOSSIBLE. Student gets their
answers right away (and teachers get the scores right away walking
around
to each student as he finishes).

The story gets better. I have developed a TestBuilder html/Javascript
program
which automatically builds the tests AND the tests can have not only
mulitple choice, but checkboxes, dropdown lists, AND _text_ answers --
including questions with answers like x=4y^3-2y^2-4 ETC. All common
math
and programming characters can be used. Thus the
testing program is good for math and programming teachers.

Using the TestBuilder7 makes a test quicker than typing one in Word --
it
makes the html page. Using this with my cipher7.html and with my .js
scripts file (with just 3 simple alterations of the latter per test),
teachers can make tests, put them online, have them automatically score,
all faster than they could TYPE a test in WORD.

This program is available for testing. I would like you to announce
this to
your lists and interested parties can get the zip file
and test and use the whole thing. It has been tested enough I am
confident
in is beyond a beta. Teacher who try it would have it for their personal
use with their students.

Another option:
Included in the zip file available online is also a version WITH Perl
scripts so that results can be submitted to a simple txt file on a
server.

Please share this with relevant people/lists so interested people.

Thanks.

In an effort to make access to the free tools I made (and
would like to share) more easy, I have made an index page to
the tools that has links to all the pages and resources, etc. I
mentioned before. It is

http://home.att.net/~online_tools/tools.htm

By the way, I will provide the .fla file for the Flash application
to interested parties.

I would like to thank everyone for the feedback in email.
As several have noticed, the email address to use is the
one found in the directions pages for TestBuilder7.

Thanks to feedback, a JavaScript version bug has been fixed.
Newer versions of JS (i.e. newer browsers) parsed the answer
string differently, making the answers off by one blank.

This bug has been fixed. Also the MUST_READ_NEW_INSTR.txt
and Brief_Directions
pages (which are _all_ you have to read) were somewhat better
rewritten.

As many have learned: you must run the test_prepper.html or
delete_cookies.html page between test runs of the sample test
http://home.att.net/~online_tools/NOnline_Test_Bldg_Kit7/NSsample.html

An even shorter address to ALL the free, no-catch tools I offer
(with NO ads involved either) is:
