Thischange was ultimately demanded by our university’s conversion to 64-bit Windows 7 (Win7):our IT support person advised that there were issues surrounding VB6’s access of the COM portsin 64-bit Win7, and that it may be time to move on. (A survey of several online programmingforums showed this to be true. While there may be some workarounds that “fix” this issue, thesedid not seem worth it, given that the rest of the world is moving past VB6, especially for newapplications.)We considered Microsoft

As expected,the online assessment scores were very high since the students could retake it multiple times. Thehigh score on the written final exam indicates that the students actually learned the material.ConclusionThis paper described the online assessments incorporated into the Introduction to DigitalSystems course at Grand Valley State University. The assessments were used as a mechanism toprovide practice problems with immediate feedback.
