Model of efficient Assessment System with accent on privacy, security and integration with E-University components

Research on Computer-based Assessment (CBA) in the past decade resulted in many improvements in every aspect of assessment process. Research on unification and integration of Assessment System (AS) with other components of eLearning platform has not been covered entirely and in this paper, we present an efficient and unified model, based on the experience from Faculty of Information Technology (FIT). Our AS consists of: Question Management, Test Management, Auto Grading, Collaboration, Recommendation, Monitoring and Reporting module. With growing needs for information exchange between other systems in E-Learning Environment (E-LE), AS became a component of E-University System (EUS). Integration with EUS, offers new functionalities, improves usability and reliability of AS. Implementation of information security governance, policies, procedures and countermeasures and use of Hippocratic Database Structures, solves security and privacy issues.
