1995 to assess the extent to which Texas public school (K-12)
teachers are using the Web and the Internet for classroom in
struction and whether they would be willing or likely to do so in
the future. The project also investigated teacher perceptions of

Delphi Client Server Application and
Track Testing
Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in the Department
of Student Life administers approximately 10,000 tests per
year to students who need to take their tests in an alternative
place or format as part of their academic accommodation. From
the beginning, this process (which involves multiple contacts
with the student and department) had been done by hand. The
old process was inefficient and did not allow easy retrieval of
critical information. Adaptive Technology Services has devel
oped a Delphi 2.0 32-bit multi-threaded client/server database
application to track the testing process. The Test Manager sys
tem uses barcodes to identify each test and track its movement
through the testing process.
SSD has plans to distribute the application to other uni
versities with similar needs. Eventually, the system will incorpo
rate student disability records, e-mail functionality and Web
connections for on-line queries of tests. This presentation will
demonstrate the application and operation of the above de
scribed system.

program that was inflated in 1989 by the State Energy Consei-

for energy conserving changes to be made in public buildings
and schools in Texas. Participants must repay the loans in four
years or less based on the estimated savings. As of August
1996, LoanSTAR has saved the state of Texas over 35 million
dollars by reducing the amount of energy consumed in state
agencies.
