Re-Adapting an Adaptive Assessment. Is This Possible?

Electronic Assessment systems usually provide an authoring tool for creating activities (mainly closed-type questions) and administering the flow of their presentation and are also complemented with a delivery environment for learners. In this paper, we discuss learner’s control over authored assessment. The prototype application, ReACTS (Re-Adaptable Computerized Testing System), enables learners to overcome authored schemes and pre-selections in order to adapt the assessment mechanism to their needs and desires. Its architecture is based on collaborative agents and tries to resolve raising conflicts.
