Poly Computer Science Department. The
database sharing portion of this tool is intended to allow CSC professors such

This software allows professors to easily create tests using question
databases locally or shared with other professors. It is also a tool for teachers to proctor
their tests in a classroom environment to their students in a designated room. In order for a room to suitable for proctoring
with this software, there must be locally controlled and networked computers
for each student taking a test. Local
machines, such as Gene Fisher’s laptop, a local computer, are needed for the
professor’s test creation. In order for
the feature of a shared question database between features to be possible, a
network host must hold the databases for access to the professors.
