In order for teachers to increase
their use of computers, they must first be given computer training
courses. One course that would encourage expanded computer use among
teachers would be a training course on how to use computers to create
and grade tests. In the last few years, testing has become an important
focus of education. However, creating good tests, grading, and recording
the results can be very time consuming. (1) As a result, instructors
are left with little time to devote to each student's individual
needs. However, if teachers were given a training course on how
to create and grade tests, then they would see the benefits of this
technology and soon begin using computers more often. (2) This time
saver would allow instructors to spend more time attending to students
who are in need of individual assistance. The successful use of
computers to grade tests would in turn encourage instructors to
look for other ways to use computers.
