Abstract

In this paper, we present a comprehensive framework for assessment, developed through the web-based module named PASS-Personalized ASSessment, which can be integrated in an Adaptive Educational Hypermedia System to provide personalized assessment. PASS estimates learner’s performance through multiple assessment options - pre-test, self-assessment and summative assessment - tailored to learner’s responses. The adaptive functionality of PASS, which is mainly based on the adaptive testing and the adaptive questions techniques, is described. The first results from the formative evaluation of PASS are encouraging, concerning the total number of questions posed to estimate learner’s knowledge level, which is usually less than the maximum needed and the accuracy of the outcome results compared to the estimations of the expert-tutor.
