One of the most obligatory elements of distance learning is an effective knowledge examination system the most perspective form of which is testing. This paper presents the comparison of automatic mark testing and assessment tools in order to find out the effective tools complying with all assessment criteria and being suitable for assessing exact science knowledge and its application. The tasks of this paper are to assess several virtual learning environments widely used in Lithuania and based on the results of this analysis to select the environment suitable for distance learning course, knowledge examination and assessment as well as to perform the extension of the selected virtual learning environment, using graphical testing environment. Having compared the automatic mark testing and assessment tools as well as the tools available in virtual learning environment, it is possible to draw a conclusion that virtual learning environment extension by the graphical testing system is suitable for exact science knowledge and skills examination and assessment. Such system is suitable for automatic exact knowledge examination and assessment. |
