In the past, this list has covered the topic of "low end" on-line testing
software such as Test Pilot.  Our faculty have determined these programs
are not robust enough for their academic needs.

Some faculty are now proposing we licence a full on-line suite (such as
WebCT) JUST to get the testing module.  We're exploring this option, but a
cost / benefit analysis leads us into another direction.  By the time the
full costs of implementing such a full featured suite are tallied - server
costs, administrative costs, licensing fees, faculty training - we're now
approaching the price of "high end" testing packages often used in industry
for CBT.

Do any of you have experience with a "high end" testing package in an
educational setting?  If such packages exist, we'll set up test platforms
for our faculty to evaluate the products.

Thanks,

Terry
