Web-based assessment tests supporting learning

Abstract

Students perform better academically when they are thought using a curriculum infused with Web-enabled computer technology. They become more motivated and interested in schoolwork as a result of being thought using such a curriculum. The aim is to deliver content to an individual learner, i.e., corresponding to his/her level of knowledge and understanding. The presented system supports the educational use of Web-enhancing courses and computer-aided formative and summative assessments. Subjects' contents are arranged in a structure that allows them to be used in classroom teaching and as effective self-study materials. The obtained results guarantee the usefulness of a full-scale implementation of Web-based tutorial model in the following years. Both lecturers and students expressed a desire to expand their usage of computer technology. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
