Test and Rubric Generators

Can you count how many exams you have written in life thus far? Can you imagine having to write down the questions for all those exams before you have the opportunity of even doing it? Frustrating, isn’t it? We know, we need not fear, because the Test Generators & Rubric Generators are here!


Test Generators & Rubric Generators is another Material generator. A Material generator technology software support tool helps produce educational material. It consists of Graphic Document Makers, The Desktop Publishing Software, Worksheet and Puzzle Generators, Individual Education Program Generators (IEP) software and Portable document Format (PDF).


The Test generator is a program that creates test cases in agreement to a specified approach. It revises procedures and creates multiple tests, contains automatic answer keys, questions are
randomly generated, it has test banks that can be renewed and also items can be retrieved from word processor files.

I believe that the test generators are a significant advantage. For teachers, tests can be well developed and interchangeable if necessary, and teachers can make as many copies as desired. So it’s efficient and less time consuming. Also because of test generators, students can practice exams to perfection, and even better, a person can now get qualified over the internet by simply doing the required generated tests created by the educational institute.

According to Wikipedia, A rubric is a scoring tool for subjective assessments. It is a set of criteria and standards linked to learning objectives that is used to assess a student's performance on papers, projects, essays, and other assignments. So Rubrics can assist in reducing grading time while focusing on more objective grading practices.

Here is how to create a Rubric, http://www.makeworksheets.com/samples/rubrics/4pt.html


Therefore, I believe that Rubrics are essential for both teachers and students. It is an excellent way to fairly grade students. It gives a clear guide for what is needed so students simply have to follow instructions. Also the challenge of marking assignments is easily removed. Because the rubric specifies exactly what is needed, teachers know exactly what to look for.

The Electronic Grade Book

Data Collection and Analysis is a technology software support tools in teaching and learning that consists of Statistical Packages, Student Information Systems, Computer Based Testing System, Student Response System and the Electronic Grade Book.


The Electronic Grade Book program allows teachers to enter all the necessary information that is needed for a normal grade book and has features that can do numerous tasks. It contains Names, Test Scores, Averages, Totals, Dates, Subjects, Percentages, Pass or Fail Results, Reports on Attendance, Punctuality, even Behaviour and has many more options. Grades can automatically be sorted in an ascending or descending order when desired . No need to panic if a mistake is made with marks, simply punch in the correct mark and right away the grade scheme is corrected and assorted.

I believe that the Electronic Grade Book is very convenient for the teachers,information can be accessed very quickly, less time consuming, because of this format information is easily entered and the teacher won't be fustrated but relaxed.And most importantly,I believe this software should be kept because information can be stored safely for future usage.
