Extended IMS specification for accumulative test system

Abstract

There are different methods for automatic generation of test questions (term extraction, templates, accumulation, etc.), but there is no clear specification of that process. In the work is proposed a schema for the process of automatic generation of assessment items. The IMS specification scheme is used as basis and some new elements are complemented for the accumulation, like visualizationDeclaration, ac-cumulationProcessing and accumulativeFeedback to present the accumulation objects. Using the new elements we can overcome some of the problems in e-testing: remembering of the assessment item from the students, automatic creation of different questions, automatic adaptation of the test process, etc.
