The problem with using a SAGE server for testing. asside from students seeing eachother's work on adjacent monitors, is that the students can share worksheets withe eachother!
i use SAGE servers for graded work but only in class assignments done in groups for a group grade. It is even worse if you are using a public SAGE server. Someone off campus could be sharing worksheets with your students... ---------- Sent from my Verizon Wireless mobile phone ------Original Message------ From: Jonathan <[email protected]> To: "sage-edu" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, Jan 19, 6:47 AM -0800 Subject: [sage-edu] Re: computerised exams? Dmitrii, David's question is critical. I do some computer exercises in my upper-level chemistry classes, but can only do test questions where they do something on the computer in the smaller classes where I have enough computers to sit every student in front of one. Typical computer labs don't work because the students can easily see their neighbor's screens. I do this in a chemistry lab and have to be careful about where the computers are set up. I typically do this by providing them with software localized to their computer and ask them to save their results in a file. I can certainly imagine having them use a Sage server for something and asking them to name the worksheet so that I can find it. If you are not the manager, they would have to share it with you.
