Constructing a computer-assisted testing and evaluation system on the World Wide Web-the CATES experience

This paper describes applications of computer network technologies to testing and evaluation; reviews related research on computer-assisted testing; and introduces the analysis, design, progress-to-date, and evaluation of the Computer-Assisted Testing and Evaluation System (CATES) under development at national Chiao Tung university, Hsinchu, Taiwan, ROC. CATES shows how networks and the World Wide Web (WWW) are being used in science and engineering education. Technical implications of the study are also discussed.
