Abstract:
An important feature of an e-learning environment is the ability to continuously assess the progress of the
students. With an adequate tracking of the students’ knowledge and performance, it is possible to re-orient the
teaching strategies in time to ensure the success of the learning process. Suitable computer tools are required
to help the teachers to achieve such difficult goal.
In this paper, we present a tool for the definition, execution and evaluation of on-line tests, which can be easily
integrated in an existing e-learning system. Prior to the development of the tool, we performed an extensive
study of other existing alternatives, both commercial and free, that led our design. Thus, the developed tool
presents the desirable features of those alternatives and others that we consider interesting.
