reviseOmatic
ReviseOmatic is a tool to test students and help with revision.
ReviseOmatic ...
- already has over 600 test and revision questions for Electronics
- lacks materials for any other subject area
- logs what students have got right or wrong
- colour codes correct answers in bright green
- colour codes wrong answers in bright red
- shades between red and green represent the proportion of attempts that were correct
- has optional to on-line help or support pages
- has help links that can be turned off if students are using the tool under test conditions
- red rows indicate a difficult topic, a poorly designed test question or even poor teaching
- red columns indicate a struggling student
- blank columns indicate no work done (for whatever reason)
Guest Login
- You can see reviseOmatic in action by logging in with the username "guest".
The password is also "guest".
Missing and / or Broken Features
- 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.
