Trisha Chuplis, Academic Relationship Manager and Chuck Thayer, ERP Systems Specialist for Students at The College of the Holy Cross built 8 language placements eForms, one for each language the college offers.  The eForms will be used by all students to determine their correct placement for a specific language course, which is a prerequisite for graduation.

The forms varied in requirements and could include the student having to take an exam, answering questions about their background with a specific language, or uploading an essay/video attachment to demonstrate their knowledge of the language.

In a desire to automate this manual process and due to the sunsetting of the application used for their current placement exams, The College of the Holy Cross undertook this challenge as their very first GT eForm build.  Their demo will highlight the Spanish Placement eForm, which is the most used language on campus. The Spanish Placement eForm features an exam page that could be required based on the student’s previous knowledge of the language.  We will also explore the use of:

• Logic to place via questionnaire or open form for student to take the placement exam.
• An exam timer visible on the form page which counts down the student of the time limit to complete the exam and forces submission after the time limit expires.
• Calculation of the exam score based on the student’s current answers.
• Use of code to place a student in a course based on the Test Scores ranges set up in PeopleSoft.
• Automated process of notifying the registrar of the prerequisite courses to assign to the student.

Webinar will be recorded and sent to all who register. Please join us!
