2.3.2 Connecting to a Question Bank
A user can connect to a shared or local question bank.
Connecting to a question bank requires a previous user to have created
a currently exisiting question bank. It also requires the user
to have login information.
Connect to Shared Question Bank:
Figure 2.3.2.1f shows the window for a client to connect to a
shared question bank. The user must enter the username and
password
information into the correct fields. Only authorized users(users
listed in bank users management list) can login to a shared question
bank. (Note: The administrator can login
by typing his/her administrator name into the username box
to have administrative functions.) The location field is either a
web URL, or network path to the question bank location. The
above fields can either be typed in manually or accessed from a profile
name made during question bank creation. Once fields are
complete, the user can login to the shared question bank by clicking
the
"Connect" button.

Connect to a Local Question Bank:
Connecting to a local question bank, as shown in figure
2.3.2.2f, has a very similar procedure as connecting to a shared
question
bank. The exceptions are that a connecting to a local question
bank can only be accessed on the remote machine where the question bank
is located; the second exception is that only the creator can login to
the system thus there is no bank user management list. After the
user has entered valid information into the text fields, the user can
click "Connect" to connect to a local question bank.
