In the fall of 1997 the authors began to use the Internet both to deliver some examinations to students and for students to return solutions to the examinations back to the professors. After an initial period of apprehension on the part of some students, the students in the classes responded favorably to web-based tests. Students overwhelmingly stated that the web-based tests were no more difficult and did not affect the grades compared to the number of other types of tests used in the course. Initially, it took almost three hours to plan and create a web-based test. With experience, the required time was quickly reduced to the same one-hour period that had been required for the traditional tests. The time saved grading the web-based tests and assessing student performance was substantial and resulted in a net decrease of faculty time for the case presented in this paper. The web-authoring software, Microsoft FrontPage, used to create these tests was moderately priced and compatible with the software routinely used by the authors. The software and the computing infrastructure that supported this effort are described.
