Hi Mark,
Sounds like you have what we need.
I will have to visit to see just how you do this (any excuse for a trip to London will suffice).
cheers,
Arthur

We do still use CBA here and regularly put batches of up to 170 students
through QM exams. We use the QM Secure Browser in the LRC IT Suite and
put 3M Privacy filters on the monitors for the exam week. We have
special build on the computers for that week.

Arthur,
Have you considered using QMark "Print and Scan", you can author
questions in QMP, print out exam papers from QMP and then scan and
return the results via QMP, it might be a step to encourage the users
who currently use OCR.
As far as large scale exams go, you have a problem which we are all
addressing in one way or another - space. We commonly sit hundreds of
students in sports halls and the like with paper and pen, but as yet
there is no on-line equivalent. Paul is right about asking Bill (Soton)
or Richard (Dundee), they have a lot of experience in these things and
are very happy to ahre their varied experience. Also QMark provide
things like QMSecure or QM to Go which would help in the case of crashes
or cheating. One way to look at this is from the curriculum side, where
rather than putting lots of marks into a final exam, look at several
in-class tests through the module. We have done this, by banks of
questions and 6 different tests through a module, we found that this
cuts down on the opportunity for cheating, and gives defensibility for
appeals. If you want to discuss this further, email me.
