Thomas Bickerton, Robert; Sangwin, Chris J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We discuss a practical method for assessing mathematical proof online. We examine the use of faded worked examples and reading comprehension questions to understand proof. By breaking down a given proof, we formulate a checklist that can be used to generate comprehension questions which can be assessed automatically online. We then provide some…

Thompson, Sandra J.; Thurlow, Martha L.; Quenemoen, Rachel F.; Lehr, Camilla A. – 2002
With pressure to find more cost effective and less labor-intensive approaches to testing, states are seeing computer-based testing as a way to address the increasingly challenging prospect of assessing all students in a state at nearly all grades. Unfortunately, most states have not specifically considered the needs of students with disabilities.…

Schuwirth, L.; Gorter, S.; Van der Heijde, D.; Rethans, J. J.; Brauer, J.; Houben, H.; Van der Linden, S.; Van der Vleuten, C.; Scherpbier, A. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2005
Introduction: For postgraduate training of doctors there is a need for valid and reliable instruments to assess their daily performance. Various instruments have been suggested, some of which use incognito simulated patients (SPs). These methods are resource intensive. Computerised Case-based testing (CCT) is logistically simpler and may still…
