Scrap paper-based exams for secure online testing! Adit Testdesk makes distributed network-based testing easy and secure. No matter how many students or test subjects you have, the client-server edition of the Adit Testdesk suite will fully replace paper-based tests with fully automated, computer-graded exams.
The comprehensive testing suite makes it easy to design, run and grade tests, exams, and surveys. With Adit Testdesk Server, multiple question types from multiple choice to Flash animations to spoken response are supported. Secured client-server technology makes network-based tests bullet-proof to protect students' privacy and prevent tampering. No answers or grading rules are ever stored on workstations running the tests.
Answers to test questions are transferred onto the server protected with secure encryption algorithms. The server is responsible for grading the tests and assessing the results. You won't need Adit Testdesk installed on every workstation. A simple self-contained client application is all that you need to perform local and network-based tests.
Adit Testdesk makes distributed online tests as easy as in-class exams. No matter whether you conduct a test in a LAN-connected classroom or over the Internet, exams remain just as secure as they ever were. Access to each test or exam can be restricted with a variety of rules, location and user-based quotas.
Adit Testdesk closely mimics the appearance of Microsoft Office 2007, making the testing suite easy to learn and to use. Adit Testdesk can produce exams that look just the way you like, including custom logotypes, fonts, and background images. Fully customizable reports are available.
