Class Room Setup - Overview
Class Room Setup - Overview
CBT Vision's Class Room Setup (CRS) software is made up of three components, namely License Server, the Administration Utility and Examiner.
License Server
- CBT Vision's License Server serves two functions. First, it manages the licensing of CBT Vision products in a LAN or WAN environment.
- Secondly, License Server acts as a central storage location for all information generated by user activities, including student records, progress reports and the like. This includes information that pertains to the operation of the Administration Utility.
- The License Manager/License Server combination allows an administrator at one or more customers sites to manage licensing of CBT Vision's products for multiple classrooms and courses.
Administration Utility
- CBT Vision's Examiner Administration Utility allows instructors to tailor the way that the Examiner is used within a particular classroom, typically for a single session or course of study.
- The Administration Utility is designed from the ground up to help instructors/educators manage, administer and customize test to be delivered in a secure environment. Progress reports can be generated from test results and student progress can be tracked.
- Note: Because it is designed to scale to the needs of a particular classroom or course of study, the Administration Utility can run on more than one computer.
Examiner
- Examiner is designed to deliver computerized tests to students. It can be used to assess student progress within a course or to prepare students to take third-party certification exams.
- Exam content related files are installed on each client/student computer. This installation is simple and straightforward and involves no activation or licensing during the installation itself.
Note: Examiner can be installed on client computers using various "rollout" and disk imaging techniques without licensing issues interfering at all.
Note: After Examiner is installed on the client, each time it is started the product it will connect to a License Server on the LAN to make sure that a license for that particular product is available. If all the licenses are in use, the product will not run on the client.
Recommendations for using Examiner, License Manager and the Admin Utility together can be found in this document under the headings: License Server on the Network - Best Practices and License Server - Backing up Your Information.
