This use of the WWW is a very poor attempt at assessment of students and resources. Sadly, this example is in the majority of examples on the WWW. It isn't necessary, but it is the norm.

Sometimes it appears that a software platform is actually performing online assessment, but you can see the answers to the questions under "View Source" at the top of the page.

You would compromise yourself as a training organisation the first time you delivered a course online because your students would very quickly figure this out.

Not so with WebTrain. WebTrain can perform the following types of assessment online:

1. Multiple choice
2. Multiple answer, multiple choice
3. Numerical
4. Formulae based numerical
5. Conditional response
6. Assignment type
7. Drop box
8. Multimedia based using Macromedia based products.
9. Timed exams
10. IP address conditional exams
11. Tutor moderated responses
12. Drag and Drop (recorded)
13. Matching responses (recorded)

There is really no limit to what WebTrain can do in the area of online assessment. These examples are simply just a list of what we've been asked to do so far.
