Dear Colleagues,
Your very kind and thoughtful responses cheered me up.
Yes, I am aware of the Blackboard's test manager program. This program
requires you to type or to copy-and-paste each question and answer,
separately. This would be a lot of work for me because I type with my head.
I wear a headpointer (helmet attached to a stick), and I can only press one
key at a time. Since I also teach at Middlesex County College and Middlesex
County College has WebCT, I am looking for something universal.
I am very knowledgeable about web design; however, I don't know how to
program in java. Furthermore, I have been searching on Google for a
javascript that would calculate the score. So far, I cannot find anything
appropriate. If I can find an appropriate javascript, I can copy-and-paste
all the questions and answers at once into a html file.
Yvonne
