Optimum use of the question bank of the institutes

Generally, while preparing question paper faculty merely focus over completion of the criteria for the test paper by selecting the appropriate number of questions but due to lack of time it is difficult for them to explore all the questions available in their question bank in order to place the most suitable question in the test paper. Unstructured and non systematic storage of questions in the computers makes it almost impossible to explore and analyze each question every time when a question paper is prepared. Using CHRONON you can use every question of your question bank at the most suitable place of your question paper.

Test paper creation or preparing a question paper is one of the most important process’ in any educational or training organization. It involves lot of man power of any organization like senior person to take decision for conducting test, expert of the exam for providing guideline for the pattern of the test paper, experts of the subjects for selecting or forming questions to be asked in the test, then DTP operator for cut- paste from existing question bank or typing new questions. Doing all these things manually is a very cumbersome process and costly as well (Think about the cost of experts and faculty!) and the cost grows exponentially as the quality of the test paper is raised.

Futuristic track and statistics of question Bank

Once you have stored your question bank in CHRONON, within seconds you can view the strength of your question bank in a very systematic and tabular form. The fields of the table can be selected by the users as per his/her requirements for example, difficulty level wise distribution of questions in a particular subject or topic wise distribution of questions in a subject or even all the distribution of questions of any exam across all the subjects with distribution within modules and sub module and separated with difficulty level! The question bank analysis helps you decide the areas of questions and the type of questions to be focused which may be left behind or lack in number strength.

Quick Uploading Of Questions

Before adopting such kind of software the first question comes in our mind is how to enter our existing questions collection into this software? Chronon allows you to enter all the questions at one go using your word files. Chronon provides you the facility to choose one of the types of various methods in which generally DTP operators manage their typing and maintain their word files containing the questions. It means Chronon supports any kind of typing style for example-

Intelligent separation of question parts i.e. question, options, answer, explanations

When user uploads questions containing answers and explanations together,CHRONON identifies them, saves these parts of a question separately but allows the user to retrieve them in any combinations that is user can retrieve questions without answers or with answers but without explanations etc. This feature helps the user to produce assignments and test papers more aesthetically for example

In built feature to handle any type of existing or future type of questions

Since questions appear in different exams are of different type. Even a question is multiple choice type it may have its own sub type for example four options but single correct, four options but one or more options may be correct, neither of the options is correct or incorrect but the options may carry different weight or points, only two choices like True – False, etc. Chronon provides a facility to further classify MCQ type questions into subtype as mentioned above which is called user defined type of a question type. Similarly subjective or descriptive type of questions can be further classified under various sub type according to the nature of the question for example fill in the blank, very short answer type, short answer type, twenty words, essay type. In fact using the facility of user defined type of questions Chronon is capable of handling even futuristic type of questions!

Error watch during uploading

As Chronon help you to create assignments and generate test papers it is very important that question entry is correct, only then the higher authority can be ensured of error free question papers or assignments. Chronon assures that questions entered correctly or incorrectly into the software by providing a preview window where user can see that all the parts of questions (question text, options, answer, and explanation) are identified by the software or not which is beautifully displayed in this window in different colors for different parts of the questions.

Recognition of Duplicate and similar questions

When questions are not managed properly it is common phenomena that a same question is saved in so many places and on so many files. It becomes very irritating that corrections are made on one file where as a careless DTP operator selects question from some other file! And this results in the wastage of precious time of an important faculty. Chronon provides you a single depository system. Upload all the questions in to the data base of the software and run the duplicity / similarity form. The software will fetch not only the duplicate questions but also the questions which are similar. More over it will indicate the percentage of similarity as well! Now delete the questions you think repeated or too similar. If you are managing your question bank through Chronon there is no question of data redundancy or storage of incorrect questions!

Edit and change question’s positions they belong to/ Manage Questions as you wish!

Chronon is the only software of its kind in the world! It is the most comprehensive software regarding question bank management system. When questions are uploaded in the Chronon a unique Id is assigned to each question. Now upload all the questions you have in one go and run the duplicacy checker. Once you have removed the duplicate or similar questions take the print outs with QID (Question Id) and get the questions proof read by your faculty. Now your DTP operator has to enter only QID of erroneous questions to find the question in the data base (think exploring the entire system to get a particular question!) and make the corrections! More over if you have not yet classified questions according to their subject or module or sub module or even difficulty level wise on ask your faculty to classify the questions on the same print outs they were given for corrections and the DTP operator will select the QIDs of the questions of the same class or parameter and move them in their appropriate place in a single click!! No cut – copy- paste required.

Create new questions from existing questions

The Question Bank Manager of Chronon also provides a wonderful facility of creation of new questions with the help of existing questions. Make slight changes in the existing questions like change some options of an MCQ, or change some of the terms in the questions which can go with same options and save as new question and your new question is ready. For example in one question you are asking the dimension of force just change force by moment or by pressure and then you have to change at most one of the options to get new question!

Question Bank statistics

Depending on the examinations or requirement of testing test papers or question papers are of number of verities. CHRONON provides an innovative module for creation of Test template. In this form you can design the basic structure of the test paper that is how many section (part) or subsections are required for the test papers more over the criteria for sections or sub sections whether they will contain different subjects / chapter/ topic or different type of questions. You can say this is Skelton of the test papers. You can create any number of such templates. Now on the basis of these you create Exam Patterns that is the selection of subject / chapter/ topic and selection of question type and user defined question type.
