The assessment process in an educational system
is an important and essential part of its success to assure the
correct way of knowledge transmission and to ensure that
students are working correctly and succeed to acquire the
needed knowledge. This paper describes the analysis, design,
and implementation of the Questions-Bank system,
that allows the students of primary, preparatory, and secondary
schools to take web-based quizzes and exams, to
download course reviews, and previous exams. "Questions-
Bank", means that each question has a weight and area of
knowledge deals with it. The system facilitates generation of
automatic, balanced, and different exam sheets, that containing
different types of questions, covering the entire
curriculum, and displaying gradually from easiness to difficulty.
The exam sheet produced by the system, takes into
account the different levels of the students from excellent,
good, to fair, and avoids any mistakes of language and nonclear
terminologies. The system allows the schools to create
a Questions-Bank database, that stores the previous exams,
the model answers, the reviews, and useful exercises for
each course. Our system is used successfully in distance
learning as well as in self-training. We have tested the system
with different type of courses taught in Qatari schools,
ranged from primary to secondary levels. The feedbacks of
both teachers and students were highly promising. |
