“…Compared to the conventional examinations, online examinations, from the students' point of view, encourage students to acquire deeper knowledge while preparing for the examination and guide them to do research for in-depth knowledge. This finding is supportive of the previous research results (Shen, 2005;Koong & Wu, 2010).…”

The purpose of this article was to describe online measurement applications in Turkey by using opinions of instructors as practitioners and students about online measurement. The study group of this qualitative research consisted of 8 instructors offering courses in distance education and 46 students of distance education from Karadeniz Technical University and the University of Cumhuriyet. Answers of lecturers and students were often found to be in parallel. This study finds out that one outstanding difference between participants’ answers that students found online measurement practices reliable whereas instructors disagreed. Students’ opinions about online measuring applications seem more positive than instructors. Our recommendations include taking measures to solve the problems of internet connection, utilizing different types of materials besides multiple-choice items, and preparing of items considering item writing rules regardless of the type of items.

“…The research shows that adaptive assessments are more effective than nonadaptive methods [ 27 , 41 ]. And adaptive assessments provide learners with a more effective estimate of the level of ability [ 42 , 43 ]. In addition, adaptive assessment does not make learners tired, because it creates a test which is suitable for learners' qualification.…”

The computerized evaluation is now one of the most important methods to diagnose learning; with the application of artificial intelligence techniques in the field of evaluation, the computerized adaptive testing gradually becomes one of the most important evaluation methods. In this test, the computer dynamic updates the learner's ability level and selects tailored items from the item pool. In order to meet the needs of the test it requires that the system has a relatively high efficiency of the implementation. To solve this problem, we proposed a novel method of web-based testing environment based on simulated annealing algorithm. In the development of the system, through a series of experiments, we compared the simulated annealing method and other methods of the efficiency and efficacy. The experimental results show that this method ensures choosing nearly optimal items from the item bank for learners, meeting a variety of assessment needs, being reliable, and having valid judgment in the ability of learners. In addition, using simulated annealing algorithm to solve the computing complexity of the system greatly improves the efficiency of select items from system and near-optimal solutions.

“…An interesting model to follow in future versions of PGDnet could be the one proposed by Koong and Wu (2010), who have developed an interactive multimedia platform (Interactive Test Item System) inspired by IMS‐QTI but adapted to particular needs. In this case, the application is general‐purpose and permits the creation of exercises based on 14 different templates (link, match, classify, image assemble, true/false, multiple choice, etc), which educational orientation seems directed towards social studies.…”

The purpose of this paper was to provide information about the virtual learning environment known as PGDnet (the Spanish acronym for Plataforma de Gestión Docente or Educational Management Platform in English), which was developed by the innovative education group at the Technical University of Madrid known as "Nuevas metodologías docentes en ingeniería mecánica y fabricación" (New Teaching Methodologies in Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing). This tool has been created on an ad hoc basis to cover specific teaching requirements for some engineering courses, which would be difficult to implement on general educational platforms such as Moodle or Blackboard. PGDnet was essentially created as an online engineering problem-solving tool. These exercises are checked and corrected automatically, providing students with their final and partial scores, and with the solutions to these various sections. A stochastic programming model selects different exercises each time that an activity is performed and attaches the tables, graphs, figures and annexes that are needed for their resolution in each case. As is common with these types of tools, PGDnet provides effective management of publication and delivery dates for the proposed work, and contains records and databases, which allow the stored information to be processed. Its main features include ease of use, reliability and great versatility as a specific tool in the area of technical university education.
