This section is a joint effort of the ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and
Evaluation and ParSystem - a computerized testing system. Special thanks go
to Neil Sapper, NGSAPPER#064;pcad-ml.actx.edu,
for editing these materials and preparing them for internet posting.
ERIC/AE is quite interested in this section as it
contains essays by practitioners discussing solutions to real, practical
problems and issues. While some of the essays are couched in terms of the
ParSystems, we expect the essays to be of interest to a broad audience and
the information to generalize beyond ParSystems. Inclusion of these
materials does not imply an endorsement of the ParSystem - we at ERIC have never
seen their products.
The essays in this section originally appeared in PUG KNOWS - the ParSYSTEM
User's Group newsletter. Some of the essays have appeared in the Chronicle
of Higher Education and the T.H.E. Journal. In all cases, the journal has
given reproduction rights to the author or the PUG KNOWS editor, and they,
in turn have given us permission to post the material here.
ParSystems maintains an unmoderated discussion group,
PAR-L which is open to
all. You can subscribe by sending e-mail to
