Online Testing and Grade Posting Services
QuizSite
QuizSite, a tool developed by BEST, allows instructors to create and deliver homework, quizzes, exams, minute papers, or course evaluations via the World Wide Web. Scoring and immediate feedback can be provided to both instructor and students (except for essay-type items). Items can be created in standard formats such as multiple-choice, fill-in, and essay, and they can incorporate images.
To create a QuizSite activity, an instructor uploads a class roster, a set of questions with appropriate tags to tell the program how to display them, and an activity setting file that specifies how the activity is to be administered. Faculty users have reported that QuizSite is an excellent way to keep students engaged with coursework outside of class time.

Post’Em
Post’Em is a BEST-created tool for posting student grades on the Web. Faculty maintain course grades on their own workstations, then periodically upload a specially formatted ASCII file containing student usernames and scores or grades. Grades are then available to students at any time and place they have Web access. To insure that students can view only their own grades, they must use their IU network ID to access the system.
