The PLMS tutorial sites are great. I use them as supplements in my Intro to Cad class for High School students. I was using the final assessment (the 60 question multiple choice) as an additional grade for the students. Then I realized that they have found an easy way to cheat their way through the assessment. Now I only accept the grade if I see that they have spent time on the unit.
Two questions.
1. Is there any way to secure the answers from the students when they take the assessment quizzes.
2. When the usage report is run, does it check for actual click time hands-on or does it just take sign-in and sign-out? So, if I see that a student has spent 5 hours on the unit, can I be confident that he/she has really spent 5 hours, or maybe that they just signed in, left the screen up for a few hours and then signed off a few hours later without reading a stitch.
It is unfortunate that students look for the easy way out, it does eventually catch up with them.
Thanks for any insight into how the PLMS site works.
