Exam View Updates

A number of teachers still use the venerable Exam View suite of tools to create assessments for their students. A popular feature of Exam View is to export assessments as web pages so that students can complete the self scoring quizzes online. Google Drive has helped serve Exam View web based assessments for about three years now, but that is about to change. Effective September 1, 2016, Google will reportedly shut down the ability to serve web pages directly from Google drive. While you don't have to worry about that eventuality this moment, you should keep it on your radar. There are probably a dozen great alternatives to help you continue serving your Exam View web pages, but I struggled to find worthy contenders free of monetary cost. Consequently, I began examining the possibility of using my own Macbook as a device on which to host and serve Exam View assessments. What follows is a video that muddles through the basics of hosting Exam View assessments on your Macbook. It's not at all difficult, and it works well. If you have questions, or would like to try it on your own Macbook, contact me.
