You can see reviseOmatic in action by logging in with the username "guest". The password is also "guest".

image management admin tool (uploads are now possible)
a lost/forgotten password procedure is still needed but teachers and administrators can re-set passwords
reviseOmatic does not scale up well for large numbers of users and subject areas
has a rather limited range of question types and is not compatible with products like Moodle and Hot Potatoes
has a technically difficult question editing tool. Some types of question require a knowledge of PHP programming. This is not a problem if you plan to use only the 600 electronics questions that already exist.

Do you teach the UK AQA Electronics A Level?
Please send me an e-mail and I'll create you an account so you can add your students to this site.

You will need a web server (Windows or Linux) with PHP and MySQL (or use a web hosting service that provides these)
the software is free of charge
reviseOmatic is not yet ready for distribution because there are no installation procedures or manuals and it is not fully debugged although progress is being made
