Assessing Student Programming Knowledge with Web-based Dynamic Parameterized Quizzes
Peter L. Brusilovsky, Sharad Kumar Pathak · EdMedia: World Conference on Educational Media and Technology · 2002
Web-based knowledge assessment with on-line quizzes, is one of the oldest and most popular ways of using Web for educational purposes. Almost all the major Web courseware management system, support authoring and delivery of on-line quizzes, made of static questions. Our work attempts to address several known shortcomings of static questions. We suggest an approach and a system, to author and deliver Web-based dynamic parameterized quizzes for programming-related subjects. The system has been used in practical classes for two semesters with both desktop and mobile computers and for both assessment and self-assessment modes. This paper briefly describes the system and summarizes the results of its formal classroom evaluation.
