“…The training and testing environment must be very friendly and familiar to users. This condition was also observed in applications used for educational purposes students of power systems (Vuc, Baloi and Schiopu, 2014). Also, at any time, the training supervisor must observe the stage of training for each person and prepare the final test.…”

This paper presents the web application -AITRANS -used for the periodic training and testing of operative staff in high voltage substations of the Timisoara Branch of Transelectrica, the Romanian Power Transmission System Operator. According to legislation in Romania, operative staff of the Transmission System Operator (TSO) must accomplish a given number of hours of training every semester where they will be familiarized with new and/or modified procedures and the legislation used in the operation of high voltage power system substations. After these training sessions, each person must take a test to ensure proper assimilation of the new information. To optimize the training and evaluation process, a web application was developed. With a user name and password (for user level), each member of the operative staff can log in and study the materials at any time, and also self-assess their knowledge by taking several tests. The administrator can remotely observe the training status of each person, and will also generate a final test at the end of the training period. Using the web application instead of the traditional method of training and testing proved to be very effective. The feedback from staff was positive.

“…Consequently, the validity of grades is an important aspect to consider, and questions concerning the functions of grades can certainly be viewed from a validity perspective (Geiser & Santelices, 2007). Therefore, arises a question of whether the grades indeed reflect his training and especially its ability to succeed against technical problems that will be posed in front of by his professional life (Talento-Miller & Guo, 2009;Vuc, Baloi & Litcanu, 2015). To be useful, they must be credible notes and somewhat standardised.…”

Before you see the faculty graduate formation, you can see its grades. Since grades are used for selection they are very important instruments and can have serious consequences for students. Consequently, the validity of grades is an important aspect to consider, and questions concerning the functions of grades can certainly be viewed from a validity perspective. Therefore arises as question of whether the grades indeed reflect graduated student training and especially its ability to succeed against technical problems that will be posed in front of by his professional life. To be useful they must be credible notes and somewhat standardized. Analyzes carried out in several brainstorming and brainwriting sessions with students belonging to the first percentiles of their series showed that they realize the inefficiency of grades they receive. The main recommendation is to make the grading in relation to an absolute benchmark (obviously regularly adapted to technological and society developments) in the view of a correct formation for students.
