Summary
The ExaMe program facilitates online student knowledge evaluation using a course-specific knowledge base. It offers fixed tests for supervised exams and automatic tests for remote self-assessment and self-study.
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- Computer-Based Assessment
Background:
- Traditional student evaluation methods can be time-consuming and limited in scope.
- The increasing need for flexible and accessible learning tools necessitates innovative assessment solutions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the functionality of the ExaMe program for internet-based student knowledge evaluation.
- To present two distinct testing modes within the ExaMe program: fixed and automatic tests.
- To share initial practical experiences and applications of the ExaMe program.
Main Methods:
- Development and implementation of the ExaMe program for online knowledge assessment.
- Design of a fixed testing module for supervised, time-limited internet-based examinations.
- Design of an automatic testing module for remote self-evaluation, allowing customizable difficulty and question count.
Main Results:
- The ExaMe program enables internet-based evaluation of student knowledge.
- Fixed tests provide standardized assessment in controlled environments.
- Automatic tests support flexible self-study and remote learning with personalized challenges.
Conclusions:
- The ExaMe program offers a versatile solution for student knowledge evaluation.
- Its dual testing modes cater to both supervised examinations and independent learning.
- Practical application demonstrated its utility with electronic educational products, including a biomedical statistics textbook.
