The article presents the consideration of grading scales used for education outcomes in different countries, describes likeness and differences of applied grading scales. Application of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) grading scale is investigated according of the analysis of scientific literature as well as cases of its mistaken application. The article provides a model for grades transfer from one scale into another, specifies the results of experimental testing of the introduced model, and analyzes cases of mistaken grades transfer.
The article analyzes the importance of assessment feedback in e-learning, analyzes test based sequencing possibilities in SCORM compliant e-learning courses. The article assesses if learning management systems such as Moodle, ATutor, and Workplace Collaboration Learning System support the SCORM 2004 sequencing specification.
The article analyzes the problems of the use of ECTS grading scale, presents the constructed mathematic model of grades transfer from one grading scale to other. This model is made on the ground of the ECTS grading table and converts the marks on the principle of most probable grade equivalent evaluating the rating of a mark within the group of analyzable grades.
According different authors article analyses the importance of cloud computing services in e-learning, examines different cloud computing services types. This article provides an overview of each type of cloud computing services and assesses their application in e-learning.
