I used SuperCard to develop software tools for presenting, reporting, testing and grading. The main software features include automated linking of words with windows containing supporting text and images, automated outline mapping and automated formatting of windows and text. The notes also contain SuperTalk programming examples for interactive multimedia scripting, algorithmic art and interactive data display. Graduate students use WordLink for outlining, restructuring and completing theses. I developed a test editor for writing, recombining and scoring multiple choice review questions.
Students take the tests interactively on computers.
Some questions employ illustrations and real-time animation. The test scores itself and gives students the option to immediately review correct answers. It organizes re-usable comments on specific project items. It also has weighted scoring for items. Other software tools include pre-formatted interactive presentation forms for students to present their design analyses and surveys.
