NOTICE:  EXAMVIEW END-OF-LIFE ANNOUNCEMENT

As of June 30, 2024, ExamView will officially reach its end of life.

Please be advised that after ExamView’s end-of-life date of June 30th, 2024, we will no longer be providing updates, security patches, or technical support for any version of ExamView. Our obligations to maintain or support ExamView will cease as of this date. Continued use of ExamView post end-of-life may expose you to increased security vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and potentially reduced functionality. To avoid these risks and ensure uninterrupted service, we encourage migrating to EchoExam, which is designed to offer superior security, compatibility, and a range of advanced features that align with current technological standards.

ANGEL Question Support

The publish and export features map ExamView question types to a the closest corresponding ANGEL question format. A summary of the question type mapping is shown in the table below. If the content is exported rather than published, the mapping is different for a few cases. These differences are indicated in the footnotes.

* These question types map to ANGEL's Multiple Choice question type when exported rather than published from ExamView.

** ANGEL requires Matching questions to have the same number of choices and questions. Blank questions will be inserted if there are fewer questions than choices.

A summary of ExamView question information supported when publishing or exporting to ANGEL is shown below.

ANGEL Publish Location

ExamView publishes the quiz to the Lessons section of the ANGEL course. You cannot publish outside of the Lessons section, but you can specify publishing to an existing sub-directory within the Lessons section.

The Publish Location window shows the current folder structure of the Lessons section and the publish location as a file path below. To select a different publish location, highlight the folder name and click OK.

If you do not see the desired folder destination, verify that the correct course was selected in the Publish to ANGEL window. The publish location window only allows you to select a different location, you cannot create a different folder structure from within ExamView.

Publishing a Test / Question Bank to ANGEL

The test will be published to the Lessons section of the ANGEL server. The exact save location within the Lessons area is set in the Publish to ANGEL window.

If you are using ANGEL 7.3 or 7.4, publishing from ExamView creates an assessment. Older versions of ANGEL creates quizzes. 

NOTE

Additional ANGEL settings can be specified by clicking Settings.

1. Create or open a test / question bank in ExamView Test Generator.

   ANGEL does not support all of the ExamView question types.

2. Click File from the menu bar, mouse over Publish To and select ANGEL.
3. Select a server profile from the list or create a new profile. If necessary, provide the username and password (this information can be automatically filled in by checking the Save username and password check box). Click OK.
   1. To specify a publish location within the Lessons area of the ANGEL server, click the folder icon button to change this location.
   2. Enter a quiz / assessment title for the content.
   3. By default, the ExamView test title will be used but a different title may be specified.
   4. Select one of three formatting options for the HTML that is uploaded to the ANGEL server. The best option to choose will depend on the type of formatting required by the questions in your test or question bank. The three options are:
      • HTML - Maintains as much formatting as possible. Supports fonts, tables, images, etc.
      • HTML without any fonts - Maintains all formatting except font and size settings. The font used to display each question will depend on the settings specified by ANGEL and / or your browser.
      • HTML without default fonts - This is a combination of the first two options. With this option, ExamView does not set the initial font unless you set a new font other than the default font.
   5. Optionally, complete additional ANGEL publishing settings by clicking Settings. Click OK
4. 1. Select the ANGEL course from the drop-down menu where the content should be published.
   TIP

   If you do not see your course in the list, verify that the server and user account information is correct and active

Setting Up and Managing ANGEL Server Profiles

ExamView allows you to manage multiple ANGEL servers or accounts through the use of server profiles. In addition to the server URL, server profiles can store login information by checking the Save username and password checkbox after a profile is created.

The first server profile will automatically be the default and the profile name will be appended with "(Default)" in the list. As additional profiles are added, a different default can be specified by highlighting the name and clicking Set Default. The default profile is automatically selected whenever the dialog opens.

1. Click File from the menu bar, mouse over Publish To and select ANGEL.
2. Click Add New.

   The Server window opens.

3. Enter a Profile name that will identify the profile in the list of ANGEL servers. This name can be any name that you choose, its function is just a label for the profile.
   TIP

   Each server profile is associated with a specific username and password. Select a profile name that is meaningful and easily recognized to distinguish it from other servers or user accounts.

4. Select the version number for the destination ANGEL server from the Version drop-down menu.
5. Enter the ANGEL URL by pasting in the described address from the browser into the text box.
   IMPORTANT

   The URL for this text box should be pasted in from the server's ANGEL Homepage, not the log in page. To do this, open a browser window, navigate to the desired ANGEL server, and log into the account. The Homepage is the page that appears immediately following submitting the login information. Copy this URL and paste it into the text box in ExamView.

6. Click OK.

   The profile is created if the supplied URL is validated as an ANGEL server.

   IMPORTANT

   Because the server must be validated in order to continue, an internet connection must be available to create the profile even though nothing is being published to the server at this time.

7. To modify the server information, select the profile name and click Edit.
8. To delete a profile, select the profile name and click Remove.

Exporting a Test / Question Bank for ANGEL

   • HTML - Maintains as much formatting as possible. Supports fonts, tables, images, etc.
