Cognitive and creative test generators
Fiona Vickers · 1972
No one in education would deny the desirability of being able to produce quizzes and tests by machine. If one is careful and mechanically inclined, a teacher can build up, over a period of time, a bank of questions which can be used in a computer aided test production system. Questions can be drawn from the question (or item) bank on various bases such as random, subject area, level of difficulty, type of question, behavioral objective, or other pertinent characteristic. However, such an item bank requires constant maintenance and new questions should periodically be added.
