Innovative Technologies in Education: Creating Dynamic and Interactive Tests
Résumé
Teachers have always desired to have at their disposal various tests to train or assess their students. To create such tests, large bases of exercises must be available and searching in these bases must be in accordance with usual criteria that teachers use. We have defined such bases of template exercises in which criteria of searching are described by a domain taxonomy enriched by a graph of competencies and sub-competencies. Then, we offer to teachers tools to create dynamic tests, i.e. the sequence of exercises displayed to a student is not set beforehand. Moreover to allow more people to use these tests, those are defined using a standard IMS-QTI v2.1 to make them played on multiple LMS. Tools to play these tests on various servers have been designed and implemented. We present in this paper our reflections about tests and their implementation.
