Online testing now available with MEC
| Online testing is now available with Macmillan English Campus Macmillan English Campus can now be used as a testing tool as well as an online practice environment with the major addition of the new Test Compiler. This fantastic new resource enables you to compile and publish tests to your students under exam conditions, using specially created new content. Containing 650 entirely new exercises, with over 6,500 individual questions, the Test Compiler increases the volume of Campus content by over 20%. What's more, these new exercises are not accessible to students until they are formally set as a test by the school or you, the teacher. This extensive resource will be an invaluable tool for progress testing. Using the resources in the database, you can compile bespoke tests tailored to your students and control when students sit the test and how long they have to do it. And, like all Macmillan English Campus exercises, the tests are self-marking, taking some of the work out of testing and saving valuable time. Caters for different needs
The new resources in the Test Compiler range from beginner to advanced. You can quickly choose resources to suit students' needs, searching on a range of criteria, including topic, level, age range and time it takes to complete. As resources are assembled, the total time allowed for completion is indicated, but can also be amended or removed completely. This means that every aspect of the test is entirely under your control. ‘The Test Compiler is a significant milestone in the development of Macmillan English Campus. The capacity to offer formal tests has been greatly in demand from our customers and we're delighted to be able to meet this need with what is a wonderfully comprehensive, flexible and high quality new product. The Test Compiler is innovative in its use of technology whilst at the same time addressing a universal need. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.' New exam content In addition to the Test Compiler, upcoming changes to the CAE and FCE syllabuses are reflected in the English Campus this month, as part of our ongoing commitment to new publishing. There are 41 completely new exam practice materials and all other resources have been rewritten to match the updated exams. There are also another 100 new English Campus exercises across the Cambridge ESOL suite of exams. Training customers The English Campus training department is organising six online training sessions on the Test Compiler for existing users. You can find details on www.connect2mec.com. The British English Test Compiler is available now to users: the American English version will be published on 25 August, in time for the new academic year.
