Create Online Tests
iGiveTest: Vast Opportunities for Creating Online Tests
iGiveTest is a new tool for creating comprehensive tests, testing on the Internet or within your company network (Intranet).
Sight2k today announces the unveiling of iGiveTest, a new product, which renders its assistance in detailed assessment of knowledge. It features all basic components, which allow you to create a test of your format. Once you have developed your test and tested your students, iGiveTest will help you to analyze the results of your test. You can fill this test with various kinds of data: texts, audio, video, etc. Additionally, this testing package pays special attention to types of questions you can include in your test: Yes\No questions, special questions, alternative questions and the like. Each type of question and each answer variant can be equal to a defined number of points. Furthermore, this tool is quite suitable for creating elaborate psychological tests, quizzes, surveys, questionnaires and other types of tests, where as a rule there are no right or wrong answers. iGiveTest allows you to preset interpretation parameters for any of these tests.
iGiveTest provides for convenient questions managing, which means that all questions you have written can be grouped, sorted, filtered according to a subject and your every question can even get an individual number. Owing to this feature making tests on a specified topic will become much easier. Apart from this, it is worth of note, that with the help of a special import option you will be able to import any questions from any text file or table. Besides, any kind of data can be placed before a test or before a certain question, or even can accompany a particular answer variant. Thus, you can give a certain explanation to a certain answer, give to the tested your analysis of possible mistakes, etc. Also it is good to bear in mind, that in iGiveTest you can specify a rating scale, which you think suits best for this or that type of test, for example: a hundred point scale, a two point scale (passed\failed) and so on.
Another remarkable feature is an opportunity to create a PDF format report on every tested person. You can configure the elements to be included into the report, or a certificate, which can be created if the results of a passed test meet some defined requirements. This report or certificate can be sent via e-mail. A set of flexible e-mail options is one more strong point of iGiveTest. Confidentiality and impartiality are guaranteed, since here you can assign certain user groups, which can get access to the test at a certain time. Moreover, you can determine a number of attempts, which the tested may use. iGiveTest allows to create a system record for an each tested user. This system record will define all access parameters. The last, but not least, is that any features and components of iGiveTest can be altered in full accordance with wishes and ideas of a particular customer.
"Looking for an online test software suitable for our new concept took a long time, but in the end we found iGiveTest," says Stefan Eberhard, the principal of Privatschule Eberhard, Trier. "With the questions from a question data bank one can put together new tests over and over again. This enables us to recognize learning deficits exactly and to deal with them specifically."
Benefits of iGiveTest at a Glance:
- Random choice of questions from a given list;
- Ability to create your own test results reports and certificates in the PDF format;
- Texts/questions import from any documents;
- Adding texts, audio and video data, tables to the test;
- An opportunity to determine your rating scale;
- An opportunity to get statistics on an each question, test, etc.

Aging Hardware
How to Upgrade Network with Aging Hardware
WTware Lite is a freeware solution that turns aging desktops into robust Windows terminals. While the terminals handle user input, all the heavy lifting is done on the server side. The program enables the use of resource-demanding software on the aging desktops, which lowers the total cost of ownership.
WTware today announces the release of WTware Lite v4.2.1, a freeware version of the potent manager for Windows terminals. The program enables the use of aging hardware for network extension. It turns desktops into secure and manageable terminals otherwise known as "thin clients". WTware Lite v4.2.1 offers extensive boot options starting with network boot and to IDE and USB drives. It also supports a wide range of video and network cards and enables the use of hardware as old as 486 PC. WTware Lite allows budget-sensitive enterprises to enjoy the benefits of modern powerful software without investing into hardware upgrades.
Besides access to more powerful applications, WTware users get the advantages of centralized administration and tighter security associated with thin clients. Compared to a standard desktop client where configuring can take hours or even days, terminal configuration will take several minutes. Moreover, it can be done from a remote computer without physical presence. In addition, WTware gives IT staff wider control over the client side. In the absence of a hard drive the user won't be able to copy sensitive information or bring malware into the corporate network. Higher security and easier administration make terminals a viable alternative to standard desktop clients.
"WTware Lite transforms hardware relics into useful equipment that can be profitable and serve public needs," says Andrey Kovalev, CEO of WTware. "Often it is even a better solution than the use of more expensive hardware. You can use aging desktops in public places where they go through many people. Diskless desktops are more reliable because they don't have mechanical parts. Since most of the computing is done by the terminal server, they don't need powerful processors that overheat. Terminals are also ideal for the protection of sensitive information from copying. Finally, they facilitate the job of network maintaining and software deployment. It is only the server side that needs upgrading and maintaining."
WTware Lite is an ideal budgetary solution for network extension. It prolongs the life of your hardware, lowers the TCO and the costs involved in IT management. So, why not give it a try on your aging hardware instead of getting rid of it?
WTware Lite v4.2.1 Features at a Glance
- Extensive boot options, including network boot, IDE CD-ROM, IDE hard drive, IDE DiskOnModule, USB flash;
- Support for aging hardware ( 486 PC and higher);
- Screen resolution up to 800x600, colour depth up to 24 bit, configurable refresh frequency;
- Driver support for all major video cards ( SVGAlib 1.4.3, SVGAlib 1.9.24, Linux 2.4.32 Framebuffer, and X.org 6.9.0 driver libraries);
- Support for all major network cards (ISA and PCI) produces for the last decade;
- Support for client-side LPT printers;
- Support for DIN and PS/2-keyboards, COM and PS/2-mouses.
