AUTHORING AND AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF CIRCUITRIES AND DRAFTS IN DISTRIBUTED E-TESTING CLUSTER (DETC)

The insufficient volume of testing questions and lack of question classes, which test one area of knowledge, is a primary problem in most systems for electronic testing. The Distributed e-Testing Cluster (DeTC) provides services to learners in the processes during learning, self-preparation and self-testing, and during real testing examination of groups of learners. This paper describes the authoring and automatic generation of circuitries and drafts in the DeTC. This enables automatic generations of questions, which test one area of knowledge. Once a circuitry is already drawn, the dialog-based graphic editor allows automatic generation of new circuitries and drafts when possible. The authors of testing questions must determine which of the primary and marking graphic primitives contained are static, and which dynamic. The authors define connection ranges for each primitive, describe the admissible connections between primitives and generate circuitries.
