An Application of Individualized Assessment in Educational Hypermedia: Design of Computerized Adaptive Testing System and its Integration Into UZWEBMAT

摘要

This study focuses on design and architecture of adaptive assessment module integrated into UZWEBMAT. Main purpose of adaptive assessment is better evaluation of ability levels and learning processes of students. As a matter of fact, adaptive assessment enables to perceive competences of students more efficiently and correctly. A final question bank comprising of 752 questions was used for adaptive assessment module integrated into UZWEBMAT. Thanks to this module, students receiving individual education via UZWEBMAT are provided with an assessment that is adaptive according to their own competences and capacities. Thanks to adaptive assessment allowing recognizing learners by their ability levels in contrast to classical tests, individualized assessment becomes possible.
