Online Test-Taking Software

1.      Lectora (www.trivantis.com) – pricey, and limited control, but appears relatively easy to build online content. Targeted to faculty who want something easy to build.

2.      Maple T.A. – opposite end: For creating mathematical instruction, quizzes and tests online. The math people probably know MapleSoft already—they sell an automated tool to evaluate equations and calculus (symbolic). This tool puts it together online. Also useful for physics and engineering. (These features would be extremely difficult to duplicate by anyone else except Mathematica.)
