[Opensource] Testing Software

[Colin C Consiglio]

G'day Jack, 

 

Have you tried  a google search for resources?.. 

http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en
<http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=TOEFL&btnG=Google+Search&meta>
&q=TOEFL&btnG=Google+Search&meta= 

 

many freebies appear to be available though many web based.. thus might
inflate your data traffic, 

 

Consider using PodProducer nice freeware that I've in classes used for the
last few years, easy to record, easy to playback, many playdecks. 

 

New version seems to have been released back in May this year, see
http://www.podproducer.net home page for details.,

This site http://radio.about.com/od/recordingsoftware/a/aa012206a.htm
describes the features in a nutshell.

I can "see" this application covering items 1 and 2 in your mail. 

Using Moodle ( yes Jack!, you were right that Moodle would take off) you
could integrate the teacher's prerecorded items and store the students
verbal answers..

 

http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ for Hot Potatoes might be a goer.   I'm pretty sure
it's a freebie as long as you agree to make any lesson created availe to the
wider community..

Don't think any of these items are Opensource, but.. Good luck..

Hi....I guy at work asked me about testing software to use in TOEFL.  

The things he needs are 
1.  The ability to test writing
2.  The ability to record the student's voice for pronunciation
3.  The ability for him to record his own voice so that the student can hear
it and answer appropriately (written or verbal).

Does onyone know of any software that can do this easily.  He has a basic
understanding for computers so the easier the better.  I have a moodle
server set up and told him he could use that but it does not have the
microphone recording functionality that is easily accessible to his
students.  Free would be ideal but commercial is ok too (he said he has some
money in the account).

Thanks.
-Jack
