The Development of Automatic Multiple Versions Examination Generator Case Study: Basic Courses in Computer Science and Information Technology

Abstract

Testing is one of the most importance components of learning. Creating a good testing is very difficult. The test has to make sure that it can measure the student’s knowledge. A variety of testing is also critical for the large classroom. It takes time for many instructors to develop such testing. In this research, a web-based examination generator system is proposed. The system composes of two components. The first component is a pool of examination items management. There are two input methods; a manual entry and an upload text file. The second component provides users for generating several versions of an examination. The proposed system was developed by PHP, Javascript, Ajax, jQuery, CSS, MySQL and using HTTPS for secure communication. This system was uploaded to web server at the department of computer science and information technology in the semester 1/2555. The result of assessing system efficiency from 30 users and the instructors, who are responsible for the subject of Introduction to Computer are shown in this paper.
