Introduction
Dr. James Gregory and Dr. William Carter want to make the Reading Recall Time
Efficiency Assessment Tool that they have developed available on the Internet.
The mission of the tool is to allow people to self-assess their efficiency for
learning through reading relative to other college students. Dr. Gregory and Dr.
Carter's main goal is to make it easier for students to use the reading
assessment tool. Their current system requires students to come to the Testing
Center where the assessment is administered manually.
This project's objective is to design a web-based version of the reading
assessment tool. The objectives for the assessment tool are to provide users a
method to test for possible interference factors that reduce academic
performance in college and to provide history or facts about Texas Tech
University and other topics associated with the College of Engineering. The
assessment will consist of any number of passages. The tool will time the user
as he or she reads each passage and then ask the user a series of questions
about each passage. The tool will calculate the time to read and reading recall
for each passage and compare the results with those of other college students.
The tool will then display the results for the student, using integrated
information to make general recommendations and to provide tips to improve
success in college. The passages, questions, and integrated information will all
be stored in a database. Also, times and scores from previous assessments
will be included in the database to allow for statistical analysis.
