Exam generator

Abstract

The UW-La Crosse Exam Generator is an online web application that was created to aid faculty members of educational institutions with creating and maintaining exams. With the Exam Generator faculty members can create and maintain a repository of questions. Questions within the system can be used by faculty members to manually or automatically generate exams. The Exam Generator also provides students of these education institutions the opportunity to prepare for a course by taking online practice exams using exams and questions that have been shared with the student. This manuscript describes the development of the UW-La Crosse Exam Generator as well as the challenges and issues that arose during its development.
