CBT Vision's expertise in testing and training
products can now be utilized to fit the special requirements of
educators. Although Examiner™ was originally developed to
serve the needs of students who were preparing for certification
exams, the Examiner Administration Utility enables it to be used
in exciting new ways. Instructors can now create quizzes or tests
of any length or variety that will serve their needs within the
context of the classroom throughout a semesters or course of study.
Whether there is a need for pop quizzes, mid-term tests or final
exams, Examiner can be used to augment or replace traditional paper-based
assessment tools. Test content can be developed by CBT Vision or
created by customers to serve their specific educational objectives.
Unlike any other popular test preparation software Examiner™
makes it possible to completely integrate Examiner™ into the
classroom environment. Instructors can now create customized tests
from a large and varied pool of questions. These tests can be delivered
in a secure environment at any given time.
Student information and test results can be entered, tracked and
reported upon with incredible ease. Examiner™ also works well
with other applications. Information can be imported from and exported
to Excel spreadsheets with the click of a mouse.
The Examiner Administration Utility is Internet ready. That makes
it easier than ever to tailor virtually any content and subject
matter into an assessment solution that will work for you. Using
a test simulator need not interfere with any other classroom activities.
It can only serve to enhance them. We are confident that you will
find that learning progresses at a much more rapid rate when you
get our products working for you.
That's a big part of our mission: empowering the learner, as well
as the educator, today to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
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.
