Aim
MCQS.com provides online and
offline exam simulators, courses and revision material and software for pre and post-graduate examinations.
History
MCQS.com was first online in
April 95, functioning as a completely server-based
and database controlled application (on an Application Service Provider
model ). Content commissioned
by MCQS.com is processed and quality-controlled before incorporation
into an online database and offered to students for free. Students enrolling for the online database can access
the material in the databases form that simulates
an actual 'exam' situation. Questions are instantly graded and marked and full explanations
are given to both correct and incorrect answers. Each individual student
is assigned an individual tracking system that documents individual progress. This same tracking system determines content subsequently presented to each individual student. This tracking system was awarded
a prestigious silver medal at the Scientific Meeting of the American Roentgen
Ray Society (ARRS) in San Francisco in 1998.
The application includes a tutor control panel through which the tutor may
monitor each student's progress, add/edit questions, upload images etc.
Through the application it is possible to change small parts of a question in order to
create a completely new question. For example, by changing just a single word
a completely new question can be created without having to upload brand new
content. Multiple questions can be created from a
single learning point, with minimal impact on the database server resources.
Other innovative mechanisms include a "digital thermostat" that varies the
depth of the question according to the student's progress and explanatory
diagrams that are created dynamically from various image components ,
according to the needs of the student. The explanations to each question
are not static but are customised dynamically to reflect the student's
previous responses. Explanations to each question are therefore more relevant to the response of the student. For
example, if a certain pattern of errors in a specific topic is identified,
the student is redirected to a customised tutorial on the subject that is created dynamically, taking into account the student's previous responses, the student's response time, the difficulty level of the subjec material, and the performance of the student relative to the rest of the students attempting the same question. The
application also creates dynamic customised assessments in PDF format that
can be printed out after the student has taken the online mock.
Content on the MCQS.com database
may be accessed through any recent browser, including mobile phone browsers.
Specific material may be downloaded and practiced 'offline' without the
need for installation of any special software. Assessments may also be downloaded in PDF format. The server
hosting this application includes a PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor, which
is a server-side HTML-embedded scripting language responsible for most
of the processing 'on the fly'. A mySQL (structured query language) database
is connected directly to the PHP engine for maximum interactivity and a
dedicated JAVA chat server is used for immediate interaction between tutors
and students in a 'chat' simulated class-room. For general information on this site please e-mail info@mcqs.com
