Saving an Internet Test to a Hard Drive

Saving an Internet Test to a Hard drive

When you save an internet test to your hard drive, the program 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 C:\Program Files\eInstruction\ExamView\Tests\chapter1, the software will create a file called chapter1.htm and a folder called chapter1_files with the required image files.

1. Create a test/study guide just as you would create a test to be printed.
2. Click File, mouse over Export and select HTML.
3. Name the test.
   NOTE

   The Test Generator automatically replaces any spaces in file names with underscores ( _ ).

   If there are problems with symbol characters displaying incorrectly in browsers other than Internet Explorer, click Advanced to change the browser setting.

4. Select one of the following options:
   • Export as Study Guide
   • Export as Test
5. Click OK.
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.

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.
