Following content development, the tool was tested at three project sites and through hypothetical scenarios in an interactive testing process engaging expert panels.
Drawing upon the Entertainment Education paradigm, this study evaluated the effectiveness of a computer-aided interactive test designed for stress management education targeting college students.
It will base trials of the new interactive test on a recent pilot of a GCSE exam in French, which experimented with setting four different versions of the same exam.

These are augmented by a database of information on serial killers and an interactive psychology test that seeks to draw visitors into the film's story -- the tale of a psychologically disturbed killer who drowns his female victims before mutilating the bodies.
Moreover, once on the market, initial products can be used as an interactive focus test unto themselves, providing the chance to source consumer feedback that can be directly incorporated into future iterations.
Participants who took the interactive test in which there was a virtual agent perceived the test as more educational and entertaining than those who took the test without a virtual agent.
Meanwhile, an item sharing website based on Web2.0 was constructed, through which users can exchange the created interactive item templates, interactive items, and interactive test sheet.
