I am creating a secondary mathematics assessment database on the Web, 
and I would like your help.

Its URL is:  http://cq-pan.cqu.edu.au/schools/smad/smad.html   Currently 
it is populated with about 30 assessment items, for students from year 8 
to year 12.  A description of each assessment item is in the Web site.  
The assessment item can be downloaded with a click of the mouse.

Please come and visit, and take away some assessment.

I am on the scrounge for more good assessment items to add to the 
database.  Could you please contribute a few good questions / projects / 
assignments that are suitable for students from year 8 to year 12.

If the item is pure text, you could just include it in an email to me.  
If it is a binary file (eg contains diagrams, or is in some word 
processor format), you could either attach it to an email using MIME or 
BIN-HEX, or use anonymous FTP to upload it to:   
cq-pan.cqu.edu.au/incoming/smad

A few more requests:

1.  Last week I had about 20 visitors who 'signed the visitor's book'.  
Unfortunately, the 'commment' field wasn't working, so I have received no 
feedback from any of the visitors about how the web site is functioning. 
The comment field is now working, so if you do visit, I would 
appreciate feedback about the site.

2.  If you know of any other newsgroups or mailing lists to which this 
web site may be of interest, could you please let me know.

3.  The web site has a page on 'Assessment Issues'.  I would like to 
include articles that discuss such issues - eg the validity and 
reliability of alternative assessment, or an article that defines
'authentic assessment' and discusses its value.  If you know of such 
material, could you pass on the name and email address of the author.


4.  The web site is designed to work with Lynx, but as far as I know, no 
one has tested it in that fashion.  If you have a Lynx connection, could 
you please try it out and let me know if you were able to download 
assessment?

Thanking you in advance

Rex
