Sánchez Vera, Ma. del Mar; Tomás Fernández Breis, Jesualdo; Serrano Sánchez, José Luis; Prendes Espinosa, Ma. Paz – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2013
Semantic Web technologies have been applied in educational settings for different purposes in recent years, with the type of application being mainly defined by the way in which knowledge is represented and exploited. The basic technology for knowledge representation in Semantic Web settings is the ontology, which represents a common, shareable…

A Novel Architecture for E-Learning Knowledge Assessment Systems
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gierlowski, Krzysztof; Nowicki, Krzysztof – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2009
In this article we propose a novel e-learning system, dedicated strictly to knowledge assessment tasks. In its functioning it utilizes web-based technologies, but its design differs radically from currently popular e-learning solutions which rely mostly on thin-client architecture. Our research proved that such architecture, while well suited for…

Implementing Computer Algebra Enabled Questions for the Assessment and Learning of Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sangwin, Christopher J.; Naismith, Laura – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
We present principles for the design of an online system to support computer algebra enabled questions for use within the teaching and learning of mathematics in higher education. The introduction of a computer algebra system (CAS) into a computer aided assessment (CAA) system affords sophisticated response processing of student provided answers.…

A Comparative Approach to System Evaluation: Delegating Control of Retrieval Tests to an Experimental Online System.
Drabenstott, Karen M.; Weller, Marjorie S. – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1996
Describes the comparative approach to system evaluation used in a project which administered an online retrieval test to an experimental online catalog to produce data for evaluating effectiveness of a new subject access design. Discusses efforts used to ensure data reliability, and strategies the researchers can use to improve on the data…
