Course_FrameWork Documentation

Promotional Fluff

Course_Framework is simple lightweight software designed to be an easy place to hang instructional content. Content can be images, video, text and tests. The software enables the teacher to quickly and easily assemble a web page with a video lecture of any length accompanied by a test which may be rich with images in both the questions and the answers. Test questions can be either multiple choice or essay type answers. Multiple selections are supported and the multiple choice parts of tests are scored automatically. Scoring essay questions is well beyond the scope of this program.

Student test results are shown both graphically, to enable the teacher to see the results for all the students at once, and as individual tests by pressing the button by the graph with the student's name on it. The student's actual test persists in the software until explicitly destroyed. A selection of filters are provided to enable the teacher to easily navigate the sea of data.

Courses are divided into multiple sections. There is no practical limit to the number of sections. Each section starts with a video which you create or provide. This video must be available on a web server. The easiest way to do this is to upload the video to YouTube.com. If you don't have a video for the material, images or text can be provided instead.

Each section has an associated test. A test may have as many questions on it as you care to type (or your students will tolerate).

I failed to note that the website is a live demo which just lands you in the documentation. Use the select in the upper left corner to navigate. Well, reasonably live, I won’t let you write to the database but you can look at everything and there is enough test data to be interesting.
