6 Enter a file name and click Save to save the test/study guide.
NOTE
When you create a test, the program encrypts the answer information so that students
cannot see the answers in the HTML page source. While this does help to prevent cheating,
there is no foolproof method in an unsupervised environment.
Next Steps
Post the test/study guide to a server to make it available to your students.
NOTE
Posting to a server can be a complex process. The specific steps will vary depending on the
hardware and software configuration of your server. If you are not familiar with the required steps,
contact your network administrator for assistance.
Verify that students can access the test. You may also want to try the Grade & Submit feature for tests to make sure that the
results are emailed to the correct address.
Posting a Test to a Website
Posting to a server can be a complex process. The specific steps will vary depending on the hardware and software
configuration of your server. If you are not familiar with the required steps, contact your network administrator for assistance.
1 Open an FTP program or other utility that allows you to copy files from your hard drive to an internet/intranet server.
After you save a test/study guide formatted for the internet, you must post all of the related files to a location on a server
that your students can access. You can post the files to a local area network, intranet server, or an internet server. You
must, however, have an active internet connection for students to be able to submit test results. (This is not required for
a study guide.)
2 Log in to your server.
3 Create a new folder (if necessary) on your server to hold the test/study guide files.
4 Copy the HTM file and the accompanying folder to a location on your server that your students can access.
When you save an internet test to your hard drive, ExamView Test Generator creates an HTML file and an
accompanying folder with all of the necessary image files. This makes it easier for you to post the files to a web server.
If, for example, you enter chapter1 for the test file name, the software creates a file called chapter1.htm and a folder
called chapter1_files.
IMPORTANT
By default, all of the file names are lowercase. Do not change the case since these files are
referenced in the HTML document. You must copy the HTML file and the accompanying
folder as is. Do not copy the HTML file into the corresponding folder.
5 Log off the server, if necessary.
6 Record the URL for the test/study guide HTML document or set up a link to the test.
Taking a Test Using the Internet
ExamView tests may be taken via the internet. An active internet connection is required to take a test.
