[vet-mm] peanut? and the corrupt files

[Russell, Chris]

Ref my previous post - Multimedia Exam file corruption
Apols - peanuts!!! Its Late

I deselected the manual proof reading section of the brain this evening.

The general idea is communicated in my post below.
A few people have discovered they had corrupt Multimedia exam files this year.
We run Macs and had some problems. 
Did anyone have corrupt exam files on Win Pc's  reported by their Tech Support?
It seems VCAA should receive some feedback to help investigate the problem.

Hi 
Yes some exam files on student computers apparently had corrupt files and the technician had to swap the students to spare exam computers.
It was a little disruptive.
I was hoping the exam supervisor would mention this on the report.
It appears the problem may have extended beyond our college. I am now think is worth providing information about the nature of the problem to VCAA.

We had corrupt files with the exam. I wasn't here but our technician got
them working in the end!

"peanut" or I would still be here trying to get it going. In my opinion
it's
a good exam, not difficult, suits my students well, but if I had a
group of
high-flyers I would be disappointed that they couldn't strut their
stuff
better, especially with the animation. What do others think??
