Online testing service. Online tests can be divided by technology

Last time we talked about computer class. However, all this is not suitable for the case if, due to your duty, you have to conduct testing among many people from different areas or areas.
Place and install computer programs on users' computers, a feasible, but rather long and tedious task. In this case, something unexpected always happens and you have to either give up or struggle with the settings for a long time.

With the help online tests you can avoid these problems and cover maximum quantity trainees. Distance learning systems have long used the power of the Internet, and many students can take subjects without leaving their home. However, this is a little different from what will be discussed further. After all, those systems “allow only their own people” (those who paid for the training). We want to create something simpler and free.

What will we talk about?

In order not to detain the attention of those who are looking for something else, we will immediately make a reservation that our article will focus on those web services (and not programs) with the help of which you, using any fresh browser, can create a test and conduct online testing . Of course, this is not suitable for those who want to test on already ready-made databases. You should find special sites on the Internet that have a testing system with ready-made tests. Therefore, our material will be useful for those teachers (and other people on Earth) who create their own tests or translate tests into electronic view, which are not yet on the Internet.

Classification of tools for creating online tests

Online tests can be divided by technology:

• executed and processed on the server side (php, perl)
• executed and processed on the user's computer side (javascript)

The last type is the most unprotected and the answers are easy to spy and find out. More serious systems are used to conduct professional assessment testing.

Based on the environment in which the test operates, we can distinguish:

• javascript
• php, perl
• Flash

Here's just a small list online designers tests, which included both Russian and foreign systems. We focused mainly on systems that support the Russian language, so that it would be more convenient and understandable for users to work with them.

In addition to online test constructors, there are other types of online services for testing:

• Pseudoconstructors (Google Docs) - here it is impossible to create a full-fledged test from beginning to end, but if you apply a certain technology, you can extract some results. This won't work for us!
• Narrowly targeted testing systems (for Unified State Examination, State Examination, State Examination, Fepo, etc. Examples: www.i-exam.ru)
• LMS (a wonderful thing that brings all tests to the same SCORM standard, but requires full maintenance and good server, for most universities this is not a problem)
• Other scripts for online testing (hosting, configuration and installation required) - this is for those who want to create their own own system testing (You can download an example of such a system on the website

List of features of online test constructors:

What's missing from online test builders?

• The problem for many systems of this kind is the impossibility of creating mathematical formulas. To do this, you need to manually or programmatically convert all entries into drawings.
• Export results to regular text editors (export to Word or PDF).

As an example, let's create a test on the basics Microsoft Windows. You can find out examples of this test and the capabilities of the systems from the table we specially prepared.

The folder may contain...

1) Other folders and files
2) Subfolders and files
3) Only attached files
4) Only subfolders

The file that is saved using MS Paint has the format...

1) . tbd
2).bib
3).BMW
4).bmp

Notepad allows you to select certain type font only for:

1) A separate block of text
2) Single word in a paragraph
3) A separate paragraph
4) Total text

You can switch between windows using...

1) Alt+Tab
2) Click on the minimized window button on the taskbar
3) Go to the window area and click the left mouse button
4) Change the size of the current window

For a floppy disk drive magnetic disks the system has highlighted the letter...

1) A
2) C
3) E
4)AA

General results

Among the free, full-featured online services of this kind, we can mention the service http://onlinetestpad.com
It outperformed all other systems tested, so we'll most likely write a review on how to use it.

From the English-language systems we tested online testing and the creation of tests, many were rejected due to the fact that they did not understand or do not support the Cyrillic alphabet. Although the projects classmarker.com and proprofs.com have Russian localization and you can create tests in Russian, the program interface, even for a Russian-speaking user, remains in English. Therefore, we cannot recommend it for use in classes at Russian schools and universities.

Afterword

Those wishing to develop and continue this topic, please contact us via the form feedback on the website. I would like to know about the capabilities of English-language online test designers.

But we have never discussed services for creating tests online. But if you use your imagination, they can also be used in many projects.

First, attract potential clients , creating thematic tests that would immediately give the result to the test taker and encourage action.

Secondly, tests can be used when hiring new employees. You've probably heard about this.

Thirdly, if you conduct trainings online and even offline, then try test your students. Below you will learn about a service suitable for these purposes. Knowledge monitoring helps you understand which topics were poorly understood and what needs to be improved. Do you agree?

And now about the services that help create online tests.

I'm glad there's plenty to choose from. And not only English-language sites can help here, because without knowledge of the language it can be difficult to understand them, and extended functionality is only available in paid tariffs. We will also tell you about domestic services, which are no worse than foreign ones and are almost always free.

iSpring

Test bank - free service, where the function of creating new tests becomes available after registration. The materials are on the banktestov website.

Your test is another one free constructor tests. In principle, there is everything you need to conduct full testing. The created tests are on the website, so you can create a group yourself and add all test takers to it (for example, course participants) or send them a code and a link where they will find the necessary material.

Test.fromgomel is a nice free service for creating tests online that transforms the test into html, that is, the code can then be easily inserted into the site. This is the simplest constructor we have come across. But without unnecessary hassles: enter the question and answer options, press the button and receive the test code.

Let’s test is an online test constructor that allows you to test students’ knowledge remotely. IN free version It is possible to create an unlimited number of tests, but you will have to pass them inside the service itself. If you want to embed a test on your website, then purchase basic package for 990 rubles/month.

This is what the built-in widget on the site will look like

The find was the website Online Test Pad, which allows you to create tests, surveys, logic games and even crosswords online. And yes, it's free. From a large collection of tests, you can choose something on your topic or create a new test, and then receive the code for embedding on the site.

Do you need to create an online test or survey for your listeners quickly and for free? There is a simple and effective tool to accomplish this task - Google Forms s. Benefits and Google's disadvantages forms, as well as detailed instructions on creating a test in our article.

Previously, we wrote a review of Google services for education. You can read

It's important that Google continues to expand capabilities Google Forms and makes them more and more convenient to use.

Benefits of Google Forms:

1. Students can take the test online by simply following the link.
2. The created tests can be embedded in a blog or website, or sent by email.
3. There is a set of topics for designing the test.
4. You can collect certain statistics on listener responses.
5. Provides the ability to share access to edit the test.
6. It is possible to automatically evaluate answers, assign points, comment on the answer, and delay display of results.
7.Available customization- displaying questions based on user answers.
8. Intuitive clear interface, the ability to copy questions from a text editor.

Flaws:

1. The most important drawback is that everyone who takes the test must have a Google account.
2. The test answer scoring system is far from perfect; some types of questions are not scored.
3. The number of question types and ways to edit them are limited.

Instructions for creating a test in Google Form and our tips

Finding Google Forms

Log in to your Google account. If you don't have one, register your email ( gmail.com). From Google services- select Google drive.

Figure 1.

Find and select on the left top corner page button "Create". Then "More" And Google Forms. A new form will open automatically.

Test settings

Select the topic of the test. It could be just a color or a themed image. You can also upload your own version of the test header.

Let's go to the section. Customize the test to suit your needs.

For example. You can choose the settings for taking the test: once or an unlimited number of times.

Advice. If you are planning award students points for a test, comment on their answers and use automatic assessment(where possible), then be sure to activate the appropriate item. The questions will contain the necessary additional sections.

Adding a description and questions to the New Form

IN new form fill in: title and brief description.

Menu on the right adds to the form ( in separate blocks): new questions, image, video ( only from Youtube), additional description. You can also add additional sections to the test. This is convenient if the test is voluminous and involves covering several topics.

Types of questions There are several - from simple text fields to complex scales and grids. You can view the possible types in the drop-down menu.

Order of questions can be changed by simple drag and drop.

Advice. In addition, you can add a description and an image directly into the body of the question. Images can also be added to answer options. To do this, move the cursor to the answer line or question. will appear on the right Image icon.

To add a description, use drop-down menu in the lower right corner of the question.

Adding points, answers and comments

Advice. If you have answers to the questions (in text editor) are designed using lists - feel free to copy and paste them into the Google Form (just remember to select suitable type question), she will automatically put everything in its place. There is no need to copy each line of the answer separately.

In order to customize answers and scores- select inscription "Answers" at the bottom of the question.

Remember, to be able to add answers, in the settings you need to click on the switch next to the inscription "Test" (see above).

In the Answers section you can:

• Mark the correct answers. They will be checked automatically. Available only for question types: selecting one option, multiple options, or selecting an option from a drop-down list.
• Assign a number of points.
• Leave a comment that the user will see if the answer is correct/incorrect.
  Add links, videos or websites for explanation. Students will see them only after completing the test.

You can also set up data verification, which the user enters when answering. If users enter data incorrectly (for example, exceed the number of allowed characters), they will receive a warning message (you compose the text of the message yourself).

Personalizing the test for the user

Google Forms allows you to set up a test so that users go to specific sections of the test, depending on the answer to the question.

You can also choose "Submit form", if you want the test to end after a certain answer.

For now, these features are only available for two types of questions:One from the list And Dropdown list.

Do you want to answers in questions were mixed? Or to the questions changed their order for everyone individual user? Google Forms allows you to do this.

If the order of the questions is not important. Select the icon in the top right corner of the form. Open the tab "Presentation". Check the box "Shuffle Questions".

For automatic change To order the answers in a question, use the drop-down menu in the lower right corner of the question (icon). Check the box Shuffle the answers.

Analysis of test answers

After users complete the test or survey you created, you can analyze their responses.

Google forms allow you to:

• analyze individual user responses;
• see summary results for all responses;
• receive notifications about new replies;
• upload results to a table, download answers or print;
• prohibit users from answering test questions (for example, the deadline has expired).

Additional test settings

We did not list everything in the article. Google features forms.

For example, you can set up (as with other Google Docs) sharing to form. Other users will be able to view and edit it.

Advice. Please note to the "Additions" section. This additional applications for Google Forms. For example, You can install an extension that allows you to insert mathematical formulas into test questions/answers.

If you want to embed your test on the site, use the button "Send". You will be able to copy the HTML code of the resulting test.

Try creating your own test. Share examples in the comments.

The Tests app allows you to create a variety of tests for your group. This option will help brands and media better get to know community members or page subscribers: their tastes, preferences, mood, opinion on any issue. In addition, conducting tests helps to increase the number of group members and engage in interaction with the content. And with our instructions you can create tests easily and quickly.

Step 1: Install the Test App

Log in to your group under the administrator profile and activate the test tool. The application installation path looks like this: Settings -> Applications and install the “Tests” application.

Step 2: Set up the application

After installing the Tests application, think about what it will be called in your group. For example, we called our application for the group “Tests about animals”.

In order for group members to see the application and be able to take tests, configure its visibility and display. The most visible application is in the block above the feed, but only one application can be placed this way. Therefore, if you have several applications installed, they will be displayed differently.

Step 3: Create a test

When you open the application for the first time, you will not see any tests, since they have yet to be created. Click on the "Manage" button and select "Create Test".

When you create a test, you will have several formats available to you. In the window that opens, read the explanations for each format and select the optimal one for your purposes. We chose a test format with text answers and comments when choosing an answer.

Step 4: Come up with a name and description for the test

After selecting the test format, enter its name and description in the appropriate fields. This data will help community members understand why this test should be of interest to them.

Step 5: Create Questions

Now you can create questions, to do this, click on the “Add question” button. In the instructions, we decided to do a test on knowledge of dog breeds.

In the question settings menu, write the question itself, answer options and, if desired, add a picture. Here, write comments that will be displayed to users after choosing one or another answer option, and also mark the correct option.

For example, this is what a question about a Shih Tzu dog will look like if you add a picture to it.

Step 6: Configure Test Results

On the “Test Results” tab, configure the text that will be displayed on the screen for the user who has scored a certain number of points. You can set the range individually.

That's it! Good luck creating tests for your subscribers.

A test with a clear structure and standard operating algorithm.

But before you start creating a test, you need to decide on its type. There are two main types, which differ only in the form of asking questions.

How to create a test with yes-no questions?

The first type includes those whose answers in questionnaires provide only two options - “yes” or “no”. As a rule, they contain a fixed number of questions in the form plain text. For each “yes” answer, you will be awarded a certain amount glasses; The person taking the test does not receive any points for answering “no”. At the end of the test, all scores are summed up, and based on them, the program selects one or another result. Their number is strictly defined and rarely exceeds 4-5 options.

All of the above parameters are set manually in the test generator program, in the appropriate tabs.

How to create a test with multiple choice answers?

The second type of tests is with answers of the “choice from a list of answers” ​​type. When taking them, the test taker is asked to choose from the answer options that are closest to him. To create a test, you need to prepare in advance sufficient quantity possible options answers. At the same time, they should be as diverse as possible, covering the test problem from the most different sides.

As you complete the test, points are awarded for each item selected. After answering the last one, they are summed up and the diagnostic result is displayed.

• how to create a test on a website

In modern educational institutions It is customary to test students' knowledge using testing programs. However, developing your own software is a rather labor-intensive process. It is much more profitable to use universal program creating tests, which is called “Program for creating tests”.

You will need

• - database for tests.

Instructions

Download the test creation program from the Internet and install it in operating system. Run the program with administrator rights (default password is 1, change it) or teacher (password is q, you will also need to change it). You can find similar software on the website softodrom.ru. As a rule, it is impossible to single out the main programs for creating tests, since each software has its own positive and negative aspects, and users are looking for themselves different options.

The main window has three tabs: “Test Mode” (in which students will work), “Edit Mode” (for creating tests) and Test Results. Go to the “Edit Mode” tab to enter the new test data into the program. Enter the data in the “Settings” section of the “Editing” tab. Fill out the “Questions on the topic” and “Answers to questions” sections. Also look at the “Base Settings” and “User Settings” items to add teachers and administrators.

Try the program and take the new test yourself. This will help identify possible errors and inaccuracies in filling. Test results are displayed on the tab of the same name. There are also test control buttons there. Be sure to correct all errors, as the program will not work correctly if the database is filled in incorrectly. All data entered by a person during testing is verified against special base data, so you need to carefully fill in the data for testing.

To start testing, launch the program and click “Start testing”. Allow enough time to complete the test, otherwise it will end before the student has completed all the questions. The program saves data about all tested students.

Algorithmic engineering is the science of creating algorithms and processes, essential component structured programming. Drawing up a business plan, developing an application for a mobile or computer game. The ability to create algorithms allows you to do many things repeatedly, with a minimum of effort, in automatic mode.

Instructions

The word “algorithm” was first used by one of the creators of modern algebra, the sage and astronomer Al-Khwarizmi back in 224 AD. in his fundamental works. In his understanding, an algorithm is one that allows you to solve a problem. Al-Khwarizmi was a respected scholar among his colleagues, and writing such instructions became the norm in the mathematical community.

The development of algorithms acquired the most important practical and applied role with the advent of computers. Huge cars on vacuum tubes were created for the purpose of evaluating complex expressions and solving problems. The computer does not know how to think creatively, understanding only instructions (commands) in binary code. An algorithm in programming is a sequence of commands leading to achieving a result.

In order to create an algorithm, you first need to define a goal. Then you can formulate in your own words (and write down on paper, even vaguely) how to achieve this goal.

The main features of the algorithm are brevity of presentation, step-by-step phasing, and understandability to the performer. Good example algorithm - culinary recipe. Turn your vague description of achieving a goal into instructions, broken down into specific actions that will bring you closer to achieving your goal. Commands should be clear, possible, unquestionable, and measurable. For example: “Take 2 eggs. Cook them for 10 minutes in a saucepan. Peel off the shell.”

To translate the algorithm into program code you need to simplify it as much as possible. You can then rewrite it in "pseudocode" - in this language, all actions are performed in a programming style, but by humans, not in program words. Upon completion, the pseudocode is converted into code in a programming language you know, and the program itself is compiled (executed computer).

Useful advice

Studying the proofs of theorems in mathematics will help you learn the art of algorithms. Graceful moves of intellect, minimalism of solutions and step by step actions- the basis of any mathematical works.

The color test was invented by a psychologist from Switzerland named Marc Lüscher. He devoted his entire life to studying the connection between human psychology and color, for a long time worked together with design companies, advising them on the choice of colors for solutions various tasks.

Instructions

Currently, the Luscher test is especially actively used when hiring people. Despite the fact that it was created in 1948, surprisingly, almost half of the candidates are still unable to pass it. The essence of the test is that you express your attitude towards colors by choosing them in a certain sequence. Each color represents a specific set of human qualities. Before the test you will be asked to forget about fashion and try to follow only your personal attitude towards colors.

During the test you need to choose a color 48 times. At first you will see several shades of gray, from which you should click on the most pleasant one. Then it will appear from 8 colors, in the future you will need to choose from these colors. This is where the main part of the test begins. There is also an option in which the test is carried out without a computer, but using real paper cards. In this case you need to place in in a certain order 8 cards of different colors.

You can try to create the perfect color sequence for your character yourself. To do this, you need to be guided by the meaning of the position number and the color itself. The first and second places are a person’s favorite colors, or his most striking qualities; the third and fourth are a calm state. The fifth and sixth places are what you are indifferent to, and the seventh and eighth are colors that are alien to you.
