Abstract
This paper presents the design framework of the proposed web-based assessment tool with multiple presentation styles to meet different goals particularly in language learning. In contrast to most existing assessment systems, we address the learning objects’ reusability issues in terms of multimedia presentations. To testify the separation of learning object’s presentation from its content, a prototype of assessment tool is elaborately designed to show various presentation features required for different perspectives of language learning: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The result of this study has also been incorporated into the developed multimedia Chinese tutoring system (http://chinese.csie.ncnu.edu.tw), which is now used to assist overseas students of National Chi Nan University in Taiwan to learn Chinese via World Wide Web.
