Over the past four years, the author has been developing and enhancing a web-based practice and testing system, called MUTester. The system has evolved into a “production” system that is currently supporting several courses at Monmouth University. Several new features have been added to the system since the presentation at the June 2001 ASCUE Conference.
In addition to describing the new features, the presentation will focus on the distribution, setup and administration of the software package. The software will be available as a download from Monmouth University.
Monmouth University sponsors a Consortium of MUTester users. The Goal of the Consortium is to provide a no-cost alternative to commercially distributed, web-based testing and tracking software. MUTester is freely available to Consortium members as a shareware, open systems product. Subject of appropriate resources and skills, Consortium members assist in the development of problem set databases and software enhancements. A brief status report will be provided on the Consortium.
