Abstract
A computerized system for efficiently transforming educational materials composed of questions and answers into an on-line computer interactive form is provided. Computer readable images of pages of textual and/or graphical material are created by, for example, optical scanning of paper and pencil test sheets. The captured images are modified by the application of answer formats, examples of which include underlining, highlighting, circling a correct answer, and the like. The modified captured images are stored on, for example, computer disks for distribution to users. When the disks are used, answer formats are automatically applied to the questions thus allowing them to be answered in a computer interactive form.
