A Better Multiple-Choice Collection 1.00

Add a second dimension to your multiple-choice tests free. Use the same questions and answer sheets. Make a change in test instructions. Students mark what they know and dont know (omit). Removes the need to gamble. Promotes all levels of thinking. Rewards quality as well as quantity. Students who normally receive the same score with traditional (right only) scoring now receive a reward for accurately reporting what they know and dont know. Turn passive pupils into active self-correcting independent learners. The freeware runs in you web browser or can be saved in a folder and run on your computer offline. Help is built in to score, grade, item analysis, student counsel, and made at-risk predictions. The entire free collection is also available on disk and CD (with a copy and delivery fee). Support is available for teachers, student teachers, and departments or schools to assist in applying a better multiple-choice in the classroom and for collecting research data for promotion, term paper project, or faculty development. This service is free, by negotiation, and by contract. "Know and dont know" scoring may soon replace traditional "right only" scoring because it provides the information teachers need to work with individual students, it frees students from forced guessing, and it promotes student development. Students acquire the sense of responsibility needed to learn at higher levels of thinking. Their quality score tells them how good they really are along with a traditional test score. Log onto www.nine-patch.com for current developments and to email questions or comments. Best practice is to run a test deck before any critical application or email your data for a comparative check. There is no service charge for the first check. Additional data sets can be processed by negotiation or contract. Processing for a bona fide research project that will be published is in general free.
