-Applications of computers to education
-SOCRATES Computer assisted testing and evaluation.
From 1972-1978 a bank of chemistry questions was created along with programs to read these
questions, assemble them into multiple version tests and score them. The bank, which
contains
around 8500 test questions, migrated to a microcomputer format and the software evolved
accordingly. The test item bank and the software are in the public domain and may be freely
downloaded and used for profit or non-profit purposes.
