Automatized test item generation in moodle

Published: 27 June 2014 Publication History

Abstract

Creating reliable, reusable and efficient tests is a long and time-consuming process. One of the most important stages is creating a question bank. An approach to automatized generation of test items of different types is presented in this paper. It is based on the accumulative method that uses stored and assessed test items in the process of doing the test. An important role is played by the so-called accumulative question type (AQT), which, along with its attributes is described as a base of design, specifications and realization of a software test module implemented in Moodle. The presented module provides possibilities to enrich question banks with test items of different types and use the learning and assessing process in automatized test generation.
