Automated e-assessment: students’ needs and e-evaluation solution possibilities

Abstract

E-learning is increasingly gaining its usage. In the COVID-19 period, its importance even increased. One of the important e-learning processes is e-assessment. Suitable e-evaluation implementation depends on multiple factors. One of the factors for suitable testing implementation is alignment between users’ needs for a specific purpose testing and its implementation possibilities. Therefore in this paper, we analyze what are students’ needs for e-evaluation system in knowledge level testing and self-evaluation testing cases. Student survey and multi-criteria decision-making were used to find out how students rank different criteria of e-assessment and how linear, graph-based, and tree-based testing structures rank based on these criteria.
