QUIZIT: An Interactive Quiz System for WWW-based Instruction.
TLDR
The design of an automatic evaluation system that aims to eliminate some of the workload on instructors, by providing a convenient way of authoring interactive quizzes while addressing issues of reuse, portability and immediate feedback to students is described.Abstract:
In distance learning and self-paced instruction, student evaluation with prompt feedback has always been a critical issue. Instructors and teaching assistants are often confronted with scores of e-mail messages per day from students, the need to work night and day to grade exams, and heavy workloads late in the term. This paper describes the design of an automatic evaluation system that aims to eliminate some of the workload on instructors, by providing a convenient way of authoring interactive quizzes while addressing issues of reuse, portability and immediate feedback to students. We build on the standard models of Computer-based Training (CBT) and Web-based Training (WBT) systems, showing how we can combine their best features and overcome some of their problems, keeping in mind the specific requirements of our educational environment.read more
