Writing test questions for calculus online course

Flexible Schedule | Virtual Opportunity

PEOI, a provider of university level courses free of charge at www.peoi.org, seeks authors with a background in teaching or work experience, who would like to join a group of colleagues developing a calculus course which was imported from MIT. The text is already in MS221EN on PEOI, as can be viewed on "Courses to read only" part of "Courses and programs" at www.peoi.org. Now a data bank of test questions must be developed for students to take automated tests and earn PEOI's course completion certificate which they can use for transfer credits. The original course at MIT has over 4,000 questions. Some of these questions can be included in PEOI's test questions data bank if they can be configured as multiple choice questions, and if they can be answered in less than 60 seconds. Questions that can't be answered in 60 seconds can be converted to assignments. PEOI's data banks of test questions contain several parameters which allow to construct automated test that are diverse, do not have duplication, and are different each time a test is taken. Also when a question is not answered correctly, explanations are given, and a link to the course page opens where the underlying concept is presented. This means that volunteers working on this project must have advanced computer skills to understand and deal with questions parameters. Of course, calculus skills are crucial in this project. First in selecting MIT questions that can be selected for PEOI's test questions. Second, in seeding erroneous answers when constructing a multiple choice question. Third in offering a proof of calculation where needed. And fourth, in creating new test questions. -- PEOI, Professional Education Organization International, is a non-profit organization US IRS 501(c)(3) started in 1999, and now run by over 10000 volunteers who stay with PEOI for years. PEOI delivers complete university level courses online in exact, natural, social and medical sciences, as well as all fields of engineering and business administration, to millions of students in eleven languages free of charge. PEOI's mission is to become a university open and free to all.

PEOI recruited me as a course author, unfortunately they had no infrastructure to guide my authoring of the course. Their website is a poorly coded, custom-development platform using very old technology (Perl) and I was provided no assistance in navigating it. I attempted to address these and other concerns with John Petroff but heard nothing back. Eventually I let him know my time was better used elsewhere. To add insult to injury I still regularly receive the PEOI newsletter because despite several request to do so, he will not remove me from his mailing list. I would not consider PEOI a good organization to volunteer with.

PEOI defines desired requirements as "N/A" in the "Requirements & Commitment" section. However, there are stringent requirements that should be defined in this section. Native speakers of languages are not considered proficient in their native language unless they have a university degree from their native country. Applicants beware!
