Bad Word Filtering

04-23-2014

Bad Word Filtering In the past, my coder (programmer) and I had discussions on how to prevent students, etc. from inserting bad words into any of their posts and how to go about allowing users to flag posts or other unfavorable content. Since we are working with students, it is imperative these services be available to prevent problems that students don't realize or do on purpose that can lead to major headaches not only for the school, but for all those involved. Since I'm not a coder and don't have the time or the employees right now to do it, we decided it would have to be done automatically. Once the changes have been made, I'll write another blog post to give you an update.

The Tester is an online Web application for taking test. Its another one of those Web application that can facilitate learning for all students anywhere and anytime. I like the fact that online testing Web applications can help the students learn without the Sessioner or teacher having to be present.

Like any testing Web application, a good way to use it would be to create and use tests that are specific to a learning objective or learning objective with the intent of the student mastery the stated goal associated with the objective(s).
