Paper Abstract:
|
The Internet has been widely used as a powerful educational tool. It gives the possibility to deliver the educational material widely all over the world without the need of the students or the teachers to travel and be present at the same location. For this we have developed the e-learning portal EVICAB (European VIrtual CAmpus for Biomedical engineering). We have extended the use of EVICAB to offer the examination service. When using the EVICAB portal the students may take the examination at their home university or anywhere in the world provided that controlled circumstances are ensured. Because the examination is offered via the Internet, the students also have all the material from the Internet available. This makes certain requirements for the style of the questions. Typically, the questions should not ask What is
but instead Why is .., which one is better and why .., design a system which
. The students seem to appreciate this kind of examination, because it better reflects the situation of the real working life. |
