CATS

With the thoughtful application of emerging technologies, distance education initiatives are not only allowing an increasing number of nontraditional students to access educational alternatives, but also are introducing new solutions to old problems encountered by both nontraditional and traditional delivery systems. This section reports on the design and implementation of the Computer Assisted Testing System (CATS) developed to support the University of Pittsburgh External Studies Program (UESP). CATS applies computer technology to address some drawbacks inherent in standard distance education testing procedures and offers educators a tool to derive pedagogical benefits from academic evaluation activities.
