Hi all,<br><br>For the marking bit, an option could be a program called Markin. <a href="http://www.cict.co.uk/software/markin4/index.htm">http://www.cict.co.uk/software/markin4/index.htm</a> I haven't used it yet but looked into it, it's free and it allows you to mark word documents and put comments on it without printing them.<br>
<br>Anyone else that's used it may be able to offer more help.<br><br>cheers,<br><br>Kate Smallacombe<br>Brighton Secondary College<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/26 Roland Gesthuizen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rgesthuizen@gmail.com">rgesthuizen@gmail.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I agree, sounds like Moodle. :-)<br><br>I did something similar to build up a list of competencies for my VCAL students who were working towards their Cert II last year. Easily set up, easily completed and easy to mark their work. Nice to be able to track their progress with the logging tools and report on an outcome with the grade tool. Only advice I have is to recommend that they Do Not have studnets fill in blank word templates and upload, this is a pain to work with online. It was easier to get them to log the answers out of a workbook onto the online form, using the inline assignment whenever we could. The quiz option as a bit of fun to get started and motivate the to start a unit, multiple choice tests to measure their understanding before and again after a unit is completed etc. Easy peasy .. <br>

<div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="tahoma">Admin have decided it would be great to have these online so students fill in answers online and teacher collects online, marks online and saves or records results online. Sounds exciting.</font></div>
