OPEN SOURCE EXAM ENGINE
What Is TCExam?
TCExam is a free, open-source system for electronic exams, also known as Computer-Based Assessment (CBA), Computer-Based Testing (CBT), or e-exam.
It enables educators and trainers to author, schedule, and automatically grade quizzes, tests, and full examinations, all through a standard web browser with no additional software required.
Developed on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), TCExam runs on any server that supports PHP, including standard web hosting. It is platform-independent, supports multiple languages, including right-to-left scripts, and conforms to W3C Accessibility guidelines.
BUILT FOR E-LEARNING
