Drap & Drop Features

We’ve been making a lot of updates to Exam Professor’s code base, which is not always visible to teachers or students. We are also working hard to make Exam Professor easier to use, which should be noticeable to all.

Adding Retakes

When a teacher creates an exam one of the preferences asks how many times the students are allowed to take the test. In the past, a teacher could choose a value that affected all students with no individual preference. While you can still set the take value for all students at once, now it's possible to increase takes for individual students.

Timed Assessments

Please read on if you are interested in learning more about how to utilize timed assessments with your own exams.

Crash Recovery

Most of us have accidentally closed a window, had our browser crash, lost connectivity, or had a session time-out in the middle of doing something important online. With Exam Professor we have taken this into account to protect student data.

Custom URLs for Embedded Exams

A few clients have started to realize the value of embedding the complete student exams interface into their own web-pages. However, several noted that Exam Professor continued to send their students to the standard Exam Professor log-in.

A few late nights later and we have a solution: Custom log-in URLs for your students.

Where is this new feature?

Once you log-in as a teacher, click on the account hyperlink in the top right corner of your screen. In this section you will see a tab called "Embed" and the new feature is included near the bottom of that tab. Here, you can insert your own personal log-in URL you've created on your web site.

This new feature works as follows:

1. If the field is left blank, students will receive notification emails pointing to the traditional Exam Professor log-in page.
2. If you place your own URL in the box, students will receive emails pointing to that address in their notification emails.

Of course, Exam Professor cannot be responsible for the validity of the URL you use in this field. It is always wise to test out your URLs before sending off a mass of emails to your students.

If you need additional information on how to embed the complete student exams interface please contact us using our support form.

The Story of our Logo

Exam Professor has chosen the caricature drawing of Albert Einstein as our logo. One of the most recognized and well-known scientists of the century, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on photoelectric effect titled: "On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light", though he is best known for the theory of relativity. In 1999 Einstein was named Time magazine's "Person of the Century", and in popular culture the name "Einstein" has become synonymous with genius.

Exam Professor does the Moo!

A friend of mine from New Zealand told me about Moo mini-cards. I had been seeking a good business card, and like most people I struggled with a design, price, and the notion that I'd end up with 100's, and perhaps 1000's of cards all the same.
