Students

A student logs on using his/her home institution email as the username. If he/she forgets the password, there is a "password reminder" facility which emails the password. (All users have access to this facility). The student then sees the question sets which the Test Administrator has specified for the student’s group. This may consist, for example, of all the basic-level grammar exercises for French, this week’s formally-assessed test on Object Pronouns, and one exercise on Italian civilisation. The exercises can consist of as many or as few questions as the Test Administrator specifies. The questions selected may be specific or a random sample. The tests can have a formative purpose, where the student can have repeated tries over several days or weeks, or they can have a summative emphasis where access is restricted to a single day.

Tutors

When a tutor logs on he/she sees the results for his/her students only. These can be downloaded directly into a spreadsheet or sent as email. Results may be viewed in Surname Order or in Score Order

Test administrators

The Test Administrator creates, updates or deletes tests from the question sets available. Each test can have several sections, with each one containing randomised or specified questions. Each institution will probably have one Test Administrator for each language. However, if a large number of students are involved, it may be useful to have different Test Administrators responsible for different levels of study in a single language : it’s up to you to decide.

Organisation administrator

This person manages users for the institution, adding, modifying or deleting students, tutors, and test administrators. There can be more than one Organisation administrator if you want to share out responsibilities.
