Edited a bunch of help files and added many new ones so the cc manual no contains everything that my Training Guide contains. Next step is to edit the files for readability and consistancy in format.

    1: \label{exam_basics}
    2: 
    3: There are multiple things here that you will need in order to run an exam.
    4: \begin{enumerate}
    5: \item you will need to be able to get a file from your scanning office
    6: that is scan of the bubbled scantron sheets.
    7: \item you will need to modify the scantronformat.tab file to properly
    8: describe what your data file looks like.
    9: \end{enumerate}
   10: 
   11: To see a homework problem set turned into a bubble sheet exam you need to - set the parameter 'problemtype' for the set to 'exam' in PARM.
   12: 
   13: The set of problems now it should automatically convert to a
   14: 'bubbled input' display, both online and when printing.
   15: 
   16: You should be able to print out all of the exams now and there will be
   17: an individualized exam for each student.
   18: 
   19: When grading the exam you will need to 
   20: \begin{enumerate}
   21: \item goto the set
   22: \item click PGRD
   23: \item click on 'Grade Scantron Forms'
   24: \item you will then need to upload the sacntron data file to the Lon-CAPA
   25: server (it is the bottom option on that screen.)
   26: \item one it is uploaded go back to the 'Grade Scnatron forms' screen
   27: \item fill in the top form, and click 'Validate records'
   28: \end{enumerate}
   29: 
   30: From there on out it tries to describe what is going on in detail so
   31: reading the screen and answering the questions should be straight
   32: forward.
   33: 
   34: We are also supporting annonymous mode of using scantron
   35: form exams.
   36: 
   37: Basically some people don't want to take the time to hand out 300
   38: exams to indiviual students (I.e make sure Alice gets Alice's exam and
   39: Bob gets Bob's exam.) So we have another mode, where we generate
   40: different exam versions all of which have a 6-letter 'CODE' which
   41: control the random numbers. The generating and grading of these is a
   42: bit more complex.
   43: \begin{enumerate}
   44: \item got to a resource in a course
   45: \item hit PRT
   46: \item select 'Problem from <mapname> for anonymous students'
   47: \item click Next ->
   48: \item type in the number of exams you want generated
   49: \item if you want to save the CODEs for later so the bubbled input can be
   50:     validated, type in a name to save them under
   51: \item click Next->
   52: \item print them out
   53: \item fill in some scantron forms
   54: \item get them scanned
   55: \item upload the scan results
   56: \item goto PGRD
   57: \item click 'Grade' scantron form
   58: \item Select the map, datafile, scantron format that knows where a CODE
   59:      is on the form, and the name that CODEs where saved under
   60: \item click 'Validate Scantron Records'
   61: \item follow the on screen prompts.
   62: \end{enumerate}
