Anna and all:

We use the WebCAPE (BYU) placement tests for Spanish, German, French and 
Russian (on line) and then ask the students to submit a brief writing 
sample (in person).  We have a mandate from our administration to make 
all placement tests (especially for incoming freshlings) completely 
online by next summer, so we are experimenting with using the BYU test 
in conjunction with an online writing tool deployed or distributed via 
Moodle.  

Anyone else using Moodle for such tasks?

--Barbara
