Introduction
Internet has proved to be the largest
growing communication medium of the last decade and have affected all aspects
of everyday life. Internet has evolved into a user-friendly medium capable of
high speed, on demand information delivery, and proved as a useful tool for research
and learning. In education, the impact of IT has witnessed the birth of
e-learning instruction via the web, furthering the potentials for distance
learning education. As e-learning instruction becomes more accepted, the
necessity to test and examine the student online has exponentially grown in its
need. The advent of e-testing has made evaluation and feedback of results
easier, quicker and more accurate due to less of human intervention. As computers
become more and more widespread, their ability to be used as a learning and
assessment tool has become invaluable, often entertaining the learner and
reducing the workload of instructor (Burguillo 2001; Crisp 2001). Testing and
assessment remain an integral part of instructional systems design for
traditional classroom based courses as well as web based training courses. The
goal of testing is to determine if learning objectives have been achieved.
Formative evaluation using online testing helps students assess their level of
knowledge of course material. In addition it gives the instructor a better idea
of what students are understanding as well as the concepts that still need
clarification. The current method of testing a students’ understanding of
subject is to give question sheets and hold tutorials. However this method can
create problems, many of which are common among classroom taught topics. It is
more than likely that there will be diversity within the group; some students
may find the topic easier than others. This leads to problems when tutorials
are held; the students that find the topic easier are often the ones that
answer the lecturer’s questions. Many of these problems can be overcome by
introducing an online quiz system and are emphasized by Schelin (2001). An
online system can be used at any time, users can test themselves when it suits
them; they are not set a certain time when they must attend. An online system
also allows the users to pace themselves through the questions, allowing them
to gain a better understanding of the topic. It is often easier for a lecturer
to reply 30 emails rather than to entertain 30 students individually. The
online quiz system is proposed to be implemented at colleges or universities by
lecturers, on undergraduate students and other users. It is a web-based
application quiz that is designed to be taken online, where lecturers are able
to add/edit questions via the Internet. The quiz tests the students on their
understanding of the semiconductor devices mainly in science and their
technologies. Concurrently, this project aims to explore the concepts and supporting
technologies required for e-learning systems.
