Recommendations for LMS - focus on exams

I'm looking for recommendations for a LMS mainly for scoring exams.  We're currently producing course material and exams with Captivate 4 and using the LMS component of Connect Pro.  We've run into numerous issues with applying time limits and preventing cheating (through the cumulative score display) in our current system.  In Captivate, it looks like we have a lot more options if we publish to a different LMS.  We prefer to  host things ourselves and have a strong IT staff and development team for deployment and customization.  Thanks.

Inquisiq (http://www.inquisiqr3.com) is worth a look - SaaS or Installed, various pricing models, pretty full-featured but can certainly be used for just test results. No interaction reports available to those without permissions...
(disclaim: I work with these folks)
Moodle and Sakai, of course, are two Free LMS products that may suite you just fine, especially if you've a strong IT and dev group, and even moreso if they've a taste for open source products.
Articulate, I believe, has a hosted tracking system for their QuizMaker products. I've not looked into it, and not sure if it's available 'installed', but either way may be a fast solution. QuestionMark Perception has a similar thing, I think I've heard, but also heard their pricing is...challenging.
Helps?

  • Recommendations for SCJP 6 practice exams

    I everyone, I am new to this forum but I have gotten a lot of help from this forum so far. This is my first post. And please excuse me and direct me in the right direction if someone else has already asked and gotten an answer for this questions.
    I am taking the SCJP 6 this AUG 4. I wanted to know what practice exam service shall I use (other than the two exams provided by SUN) if I want to get a taste of the real exam. I know there are many sites that provide practice exam packages, but I am afraid they might not be similar to how the actual SCJP 6 exam might look like. Please tell me your recommendations on what sites best depict the real exam scenarios.

    Thank you for your reply, I will check out your recommendations, it certainly helps. But I would also like a recommendation for a practice exam service that I could subscribe to, meaning a portal that will provide me with many practice questions and I dont have to worry about whether they are similar to the questions in the real exam. I know there are services like Ucertify, pass4sure etc...if anyone has used these services could you please comment! Thank you all in advance

  • What are Best Practice Recommendations for Java EE 7 Property File Configuration?

    Where does application configuration belong in modern Java EE applications? What best practice(s) recommendations do people have?
    By application configuration, I mean settings like connectivity settings to services on other boxes, including external ones (e.g. Twitter and our internal Cassandra servers...for things such as hostnames, credentials, retry attempts) as well as those relating business logic (things that one might be tempted to store as constants in classes, e.g. days for something to expire, etc).
    Assumptions:
    We are deploying to a Java EE 7 server (Wildfly 8.1) using a single EAR file, which contains multiple wars and one ejb-jar.
    We will be deploying to a variety of environments: Unit testing, local dev installs, cloud based infrastructure for UAT, Stress testing and Production environments. **Many of  our properties will vary with each of these environments.**
    We are not opposed to coupling property configuration to a DI framework if that is the best practice people recommend.
    All of this is for new development, so we don't have to comply with legacy requirements or restrictions. We're very focused on the current, modern best practices.
    Does configuration belong inside or outside of an EAR?
    If outside of an EAR, where and how best to reliably access them?
    If inside of an EAR we can store it anywhere in the classpath to ease access during execution. But we'd have to re-assemble (and maybe re-build) with each configuration change. And since we'll have multiple environments, we'd need a means to differentiate the files within the EAR. I see two options here:
    Utilize expected file names (e.g. cassandra.properties) and then build multiple environment specific EARs (eg. appxyz-PROD.ear).
    Build one EAR (eg. appxyz.ear) and put all of our various environment configuration files inside it, appending an environment variable to each config file name (eg cassandra-PROD.properties). And of course adding an environment variable (to the vm or otherwise), so that the code will know which file to pickup.
    What are the best practices people can recommend for solving this common challenge?
    Thanks.

    HI Bob,
    As sometimes when you create a model using a local wsdl file then instead of refering to URL mentioned in wsdl file it refers to say, "C:\temp" folder from where you picked up that file. you can check target address of logical port. Due to this when you deploy application on server it try to search it in "c:\temp" path instead of it path specified at soap:address location in wsdl file.
    Best way is  re-import your Adaptive Web Services model using the URL specified in wsdl file as soap:address location.
    like http://<IP>:<PORT>/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel<xirequest>
    or you can ask you XI developer to give url for webservice and username password of server

  • Studies for Microsoft 70-411 exam.

    Good Evening,
    I've already passed at 70-410 exam therefore right now i started my studies for the 70-411 exam. I brought a course on the internet and i'm studying through it however i'm limited by the course examples so i replicate them in my Virtual Machines at hyper-v
    as the course teacher does in the videos. What i'd like to ask if somebody know any source where i may find some real world exercises, so then i can put in practice my knowledge with real company situations.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The principle is the same, experiments in a virtual environment and learn related knowledge, then you may use in practice.
    It is difficult to provide you the exercise which is full compliance with the exam. Here are some books recommended for you:

  • Camera Brand Recommendations for Ease with iPhoto

    Hi
    I'm seeking recommendations for mid-level digital camera brands that have images that are highly compatible with iPhoto.
    I'm not a professional photographer.  Just a proud father.
    I never felt that my Sony cameras image files were as easy to upload and work with in iPhoto.  I like the look of Samsung cameras, but they state their cameras are designed for being very compatible with Android. So that seems like it will be tedious to use their images in iPhoto.
    Anyhow, I'd like to hear good and bad experiences with various camera brands.

    I'm seeking recommendations for mid-level digital camera brands that have images that are highly compatible with iPhoto.
    I never felt that my Sony cameras image files were as easy to upload and work with in iPhoto.
    Uploading the images from the camera should be the easy part.  When picking a camera to catch the important moments in life of your kids, pick a camera that takes great photos, but has a "point and shoot" feeling. You will want a camera that is ready, when you need it, and not have to look for the manual or changing lenses, when your kid makes the first walking step.
    I'd go for a camera with a wide range zoom, auto focus plus manual focus, built-in flash, and menus and controls that are easy to understand and to find.  And I would never buy a camera without a view finder, because the displays are hard to use in bright sunlight in the garden. 

  • What software is recommended for the maintenance of mac?

    What software is recommended for the maintenance of mac?

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; all should be made directly from the original data. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the App Store or Software Update preference pane (depending on the OS version), you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis.
    Keeping up to date is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible. Incompatibility with third-party software is by far the most common cause of trouble with system updates.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, such stuff is useless or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more heavily promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for, and doesn't change the way other software works.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction.  Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of malware. Malware is malicious software that circulates on the Internet. This kind of attack on OS X used to be so rare that it was hardly a concern, but it's now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must come directly from the developer's website. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from the web, without your having requested it, should go straight into the Trash. A web page that tells you that your computer has a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with it, is a scam.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem.
    While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage use and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move seldom-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    Let go of the Windows mentality that every computer needs regular downtime maintenance such as "defragging" and "registry cleaning." Those concepts do not apply to the Mac platform. The machine should not be a focus of your attention. You shouldn't have to think about it at all. It should be a transparent, almost unnoticeable tool by means of which you communicate, work, and play. If you want a computer that depends on you to keep going, use a PC.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Webhosting recommendations for testing i-web

    I think it would be a good idea for me to purchase a domain name and rent some web space specifically for practicing i-web concepts.
    I have space at Networks Solution for my current website. Theoretically I can piggyback onto that account but in actual practice I am afraid I will corrupt the site I depend on for my business.
    I don't have enough confidence in my webmaster skillset to not hit the wrong toggle.
    I would also like to keep my test sites up long enough to run them by focus groups and test optimization software, etc.
    The site I will be building will be very image and link intensive if that makes a difference.
    My goal is to evaluate total user experience before uploading the site so speed is probably also significant.
    Does anybody have a recommendation for a webhosting package that won't be accessed very often but still needs to provide relatively quick download speed.?

    Roddy steered me to using Web Site Maestro to optimize my sites Even though they are on MMe. I use WMS since I don't have a blog which would lose features if I published to a folder on the HD and then uploaded as it would be the same as publishing to a non-Mac site:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Blog RSS Subscription
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ Enhanced slideshows
    WSM is able to detect those new or changed files and upload only them.

  • Need a printer recommendation for a small office

    hey folks, hoping someone might be able to suggest a recommendation for our business. We’ve had an OkiData color laser printer that’s lasted over 6 years but it’s been giving us some trouble over the last year and yesterday it stopped printing with an error we can’t resolve. Would have to bring a tech in to fix and we’d basically already decided that once this thing bit the dust we’d move on to something else. It’s time.
    We are looking for something in the $200-$400 range, would consider going a little higher if it was clearly worth it. We want something that connects wireless, prints quickly and reliably in Snow Leopard over an Airport Extreme network, decent color print quality is important but doesn’t have to be photo quality (we have an HP Photosmart for that kind of stuff), and it needs to have reasonable printing cost per page. We don’t print a tremendous amount of stuff, but we probably go through 100-200 pages a day and it adds up.
    Was looking at the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless and that looks like a nice unit except half the people who buy one hate it. Looks like HP quality control is lacking and if you get a good unit, great, but the odds are good you’ll get a lousy one.
    Also looking at the Brother HL-3070CW, but reviews say it has a high consumable cost.
    Basically, the more I look into this the more I head spins and now I've got myself wrapped around the axle and don’t know what to do.
    Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I would steer clear of the 500 express. Since you seem to be new to cisco products, I would use the opportunity and buy what most of your potential customers already have. Get yourself a pix/asa and a 2900 series switch as first poster suggested. If you are interested in certifications, you will need to learn the command line interface. The 500 express will do you no good as it is all gui. This is only my opinion of course. Oh, and did I see not expensive and cisco in the same sentence. :)

  • Recommendation for maintaining pricing in CRM when R/3 is also in landscape

    Hi,
    in out context we have already SAP R/3 in the landscape, all the pricing in done in R/3. lot of custom pricing routines are also written in r/3.
    now we in the process of implementing CRM and plan to do Quotations in CRM and replicate in SAP R/3 . what is the recommendation for such a scenario.
    do we replicate all pricing conditions/procedures in CRM? do we need to re-do all procedures in IPC?
    can we re-determine pricing in R/3 so that we can avoid such work in CRM? we are using configurable products in R/3.
    please share your thoughts/best practices and any document will be of help.
    thanks
    RH

    Hi Swaroop,
               The Assignment of Buisness Partner classification from CRM to R3 is purely based on Classification
    so your initial Entry
    I chose B as classification & Z001 as an account group which is a copy of 0001. System takes it.
    was taken by the system
    now when you tried to make another Entry by the same Classification
    chose B again & this time Z002 acc gp (copy of 0002), and system does not allow?
    it checks for the Existing Classification and so does not allow the same
    Delete the Previous Entry and then Try Entering the New Entry
    The System shall Take it
    Hope it Answered your Queries...
    Revert Back for any Doubts..
    Also Chk the Link for details:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/04/4d9ac77b2b11d3b52f006094b9114a/content.htm

  • Any recommendations for a recovery software for my lost photos on my external drive?

    Would like recommendations for a reputable recovery software for my lost photos from my external drive that I used with my MacBook Pro.

    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz

    Which O/S upgrade is recommended for a MAC Book Pro17 with Intel Core Duo 2.16 GHz
    I am using os x 10.4.11.
    Do I need to upgrade to 10.5.xx? Will this platform suport 10.6.xx? If 10.6 will work do I need to install 10.5 first?
    Thanks...

    Hi. Your computer can be upgraded to either Leopard 10.5 or Snow Leopard 10.6. 10.6 will be much easier to find and will be less expensive. Leopard is not required prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard.

  • Hardware/software recommendation for video capture prior to edit on home ba

    i am a FCP user on a G5. i need to begin to load and initially edit video while traveling and then take that FC project file and load it onto my home based G5 for further work. i am considering a macbook and FC express to accomplish this task.
    my questions are:
    does it matter that the new macbooks are intel processors and my G5 is not intel based? will i have any compatibility problems with SW/file transfers.
    is FC Express the best SW to use for the load and initial edits?
    is there a best practice recommendation for what i want to do?
    thank you.

    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   use FCP HD 5.0.1

    FCP will run on a MacBook. It's not support, and the Studio is not supported because of Motion's graphics requirements, but quite a few people are running FCP on basic MacBooks. Just make sure it has enough RAM.
