Project ROAR: Rhea Online Testing Resource

Introduction

Project ROAR was initiated in the Spring semester of 2010, as an attempt to provide students and professors the ability to create online tests; a forum for academic interaction, where professors could test students, and students in turn could post their own questions. The inspiration for this project came from the evident lack of an open source testing platform. Freshmen in the school of engineering, physics and math for example, are required to pay as much as $25 for similar testing software, simply to have access to pre-existing quizzes and tests. The RHEA Development team decided to overcome this problem by conceptualizing an open source web-app based on the Rhea server, that would give students and professors the same ability without the need for these expensive third party software.
