1.4 Impacts

The potential positive impacts of the test tool software are that teachers will be able to create exams in a quick and efficient manner. The tests will be able to be easily distributed and graded. Instructors will save time in formatting and administering tests.

The potential negative impacts of the test tool are that exams may end up using the same questions frequently. If the database of questions is not updated often, then students may be able to learn the questions and their answers instead of the material. If the system does not have an adequate amount of security, then answers may be stolen in advance or the system may be exploited in the benefit of the students.
