Impact of tablet based learning on continuous assessment (ESPRIT smart school framework)

摘要

Mobile technology has become a staple in our society. It plays a crucial and profound role inassisting learners (despite their level and age) in their leaning process using various apparatus and mobile devices (laptop, tablets ???). This paper presents a new learning framework based on tablets. This solution has been developed and tested in Esprit "Ecole Sup??rieure Priv??e d'Ig??nieurie et de Technologies", a Tunisian school of engineering. This application is named ESSF: Esprit Smart School Framework. In this work, the main features of the proposed solution are listed below along with its impact on the learners' evaluation process. Learner's assessment has always been a critical component of the learning process as it measures students' knowledge. However, traditional evaluation methods, in which the learner is evaluated once or twice each year, cannot reflect his real level. This is why a continuous assessment (CA) process becomes necessary. In this context we have proved that ESSF offers many important features that enhance and facilitate the implementation of the CA process.
