Intelligent testing systems
Santrauka
While distance learning is getting more and more popular, testing problems have become topical. Review on worldwide intelligent testing systems and their application possibilities are presented in the paper. The intelligent testing system developed by the authors is described. This system is applied in Vilnius Gediminas technical university, Department of Construction Economics and Property Management. The system allows assessment of knowledge not only by the correct/incorrect answer, but also takes into account the time taken for a student to answer a question and the doubts appeared as well as complex parameters. The developed system provides support to the student by presenting explanations of the answers and the links to certain literature. It provides statistical analysis on knowledge acquirement depending on the gender of the student and the type of studies the student is involved in - distance or full-time. For the teacher the system is also useful because it helps to evaluate the correctness of a question formulation, difficulty of a question and directions for refinement of a test or a model.
