Distance Learning
The computer professionals involved with overseeing the server where the exercise physiology program was located in distance education degree program, helped us with the UNIX language needed to grade and provide feedback to students taking the quizzes. The advantage of having quiz results placed onto a FileMaker Pro database was that the results could be observed and monitored by the exercise physiology instructor who had access to these files. In order to assure that students were taking the practice quizzes, 10% of their grade was based on their performance. The instructor allowed students to take the practice quizzes as many times as possible, until they had scored well enough to feel they had mastered the content.
