Ham Academy

Ham Academy is a Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) based Javascript program that assists teaching the Amateur Radio theory using the VEC questions pools. Ham Academy uses on-line interactive sessions for reviewing the questions pools.

Students first register their name (which is used as a file name for storing session statistics). A session is begun by selecting the question pool and then the subset of pool questions to be used in the interactive session. The questions pools have been updated to the latest set from the ARRL web site.

During a session the selected questions are displayed and the student chooses from the four possible answers - A thru D. HA keeps statistics on the correct and missed questions. At the end of the session the student can repeat the session using only the missed questions. This selective repetition helps the student with weak areas in learning the material.

At any time during a session, the student can suspend it and exit from the program. Later, the session can be resumed and testing continued. The session statistics are stored in the browser "cookie" file for up to one year.

I'd like to make a special plea for feedback from anyone using the program. Your help is needed to find problems. And your ideas on how to improve HA would be appreciated. Please help out if you can.

Ham Academy can be run on line or it can be downloaded and run on your PC. Both can be found at http://www.ah0a.org/AH0A.html
