Adaptive Item-Based Learning Environments Based on the Item Response Theory: Possibilities and Challenges
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wauters, K.; Desmet, P.; Van den Noortgate, W. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
The popularity of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) is increasing rapidly. In order to make learning environments more efficient, researchers have been exploring the possibility of an automatic adaptation of the learning environment to the learner or the context. One of the possible adaptation techniques is adaptive item sequencing by matching…

Chatzopoulou, D. I.; Economides, A. A. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2010
This paper presents Programming Adaptive Testing (PAT), a Web-based adaptive testing system for assessing students' programming knowledge. PAT was used in two high school programming classes by 73 students. The question bank of PAT is composed of 443 questions. A question is classified in one out of three difficulty levels. In PAT, the levels of…

Correcting Computer-Based Assessments for Guessing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Harper, R. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2003
Discusses multiple choice questions and presents a statistical approach to post-test correction for guessing that can be used in spreadsheets to automate the correction and generate a grade. Topics include the relationship between the learning objectives and multiple-choice assessments; and guessing correction by negative marking. (LRW)

The Efficacy of a World-Wide Web Mediated Formative Assessment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Buchanan, Tom – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2000
Describes two studies that evaluated the effectiveness of a World Wide Web-based formative assessment package used in undergraduate psychology courses. Students taking online multiple-choice tests received instant feedback, and results showed that students who used the package performed better than those who did not. (Author/LRW)

He, Q.; Tymms, P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2005
Computer-assisted assessment (CAA) has become increasingly important in education in recent years. A variety of computer software systems have been developed to help assess the performance of students at various levels. However, such systems are primarily designed to provide objective assessment of students and analysis of test items, and focus…
