Evaluation of medical knowledge using electronic textbooks and ExaMe program on Internet

In the paper we describe the function of the ExaMe program that serves for evaluation of students knowledge using Internet. Evaluation is based on the knowledge base of a given course. Two types of evaluation tests are described. The fixed test is appropriate for examination of students by the teacher in computer classroom connected to Internet. By this test the evaluation is done in the limited time period and all students are tested with the same evaluation test. The automatic test is appropriate for self-evaluation and self-study by students on remote places. The student can ask the ExaMe program for the test of different difficulty levels and state the number of questions required. Finally the first experience with the ExaMe program in practice is given. The application of the ExaMe program is shown in connection with IT EDUCTRA electronic products and electronic textbook on biomedical statistics.
