ExamView Learning & Test Center Will Be Discontinued

[logilliam]

Is ExamView/FSCreations going to discontinue its online testing at evtestcenter.com?

[Support KL]

Unfortunately the ExamView Learning & Test Center will be discontinued as of 1/1/2009. Any active accounts as of December 1st, 2007 were extended to this deadline. An email was sent out in December of this announcement, but we have found that many did not receive it.

We are not currently accepting any new accounts or offering free trial accounts.

At this time we are recommending ANGEL, Blackboard, or WebCT for Internet testing of ExamView content as we explore other options for providing this service in the future.

At this time, the Learning & Test Center is scheduled to be discontinued at the end of 2008.

Why is the online testing center being discontinued? Will there be a replacement??

[logilliam]

Why has there been no response to cpearsall's post?

[Support KL]

The service is being discontinued because of declining use. Many instructors have moved to Learning Management Systems, such as Blackboard, WebCT, ANGEL, or Moodle for giving Internet tests.

Out of those options the ExamView integration is strongest with ANGEL.

How do we access ANGEL Testing?

I am not able to locate this via "Google".

Thanks for your reply

The ANGEL LMS (Learning Management System) is an enterprise solution available from ANGEL Learning (www.angellearning.com).

Is the testing site still set for discontinuation? I have been searching everywhere and can not find anything that is anywhere near to this program. PLEASE reconsider! This is an invaluable service and all of my textbooks in all of my classes correlate to this.

Currently we still plan to close down the ExamView testing site. I know this is really inconvenient and I apologize. You will still be able to use the HTML test form hosted on your own websites, if you want, and all the various other web-publishing options (Angel, Blackboard, WebCT/Vista) are still available, as well as LAN-based testing.

You can find information about LAN-based testing in the ExamView help file, under the Index. If you type "LAN" into the search bar, you'll see the article for publishing a LAN test.

I'll foreward your request along, as well.

What is everyone using instead of the ExamView Internet Test-hosting site?
I am looking for a solution for novice teachers to use.

I realize the point is moot, especially on the last day of 2008, but I, for one, am greatly disappointed and inconvenienced by the decision to discontinue Internet-based testing. My small school doesn't use Blackboard or similar services, and the ancient server I'm forced to work with doesn't permit LAN-based testing with recent versions of ExamView and newer test banks.

I can't believe that it would cost an exorbitant amount of money to maintain Internet-based testing. In any case, the decision should not have been made unilaterally.

I am absolutely disgusted!
Were we going to be told?
What if I have already paid for the services extending beyone 2008?
I just convinced board members at my school board to buy into this feature at our last PD day, and this is how I am finding out it is finished?

[htscience]

Beats me? I am just finding out about this and I had paid beyond this date. Was loggin in to add another year. Been using this for years and my students depend on it. Poor customer service if I have ever seen it.

Let me know if you find out anything.

Clearly on-line testing was being used readily based on the numerous responses. Our purchase of the learning series last year was based on the ability to use the site to post on-line tests easily. Your "options" don't seem easy to me.

I've tried the LAN based testing, and there are logistical nightmares readily.

Where are our refunds? Our notice? Our software updates to allow us to as easily post elsewhere?
