“…An example of template-based approaches to question generation is described by Stanescu et al [ 16 ]. The system uses a number of predefined tags and templates, which the instructor can then use to create questions.…”

With recent advancements in Semantic Web technologies, a new trend in MCQ item generation has emerged through the use of ontologies. Ontologies are knowledge representation structures that formally describe entities in a domain and their relationships, thus enabling automated inference and reasoning. Ontology-based MCQ item generation is still in its infancy, but substantial research efforts are being made in the field. However, the applicability of these models for use in an educational setting has not been thoroughly evaluated. In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of an ontology-based MCQ item generation system known as OntoQue. The evaluation was conducted using two different domain ontologies. The findings of this study show that ontology-based MCQ generation systems produce satisfactory MCQ items to a certain extent. However, the evaluation also revealed a number of shortcomings with current ontology-based MCQ item generation systems with regard to the educational significance of an automatically constructed MCQ item, the knowledge level it addresses, and its language structure. Furthermore, for the task to be successful in producing high-quality MCQ items for learning assessments, this study suggests a novel, holistic view that incorporates learning content, learning objectives, lexical knowledge, and scenarios into a single cohesive framework.

“…In the last decade the electronic learning became a very useful tool in the students' education from different activity domains. The accomplished studies indicated that the students substantially appreciate the e-learning method, due to the facilities: the facile information access, a better storage of the didactic material, the curricula harmonization between universities, personalized instruction (Stanescu et al, 2008). As e-learning is emerging as nontraditional learning approach, it's becoming more acceptable to our society.…”

In the paper, we point out several observations and remarks on time effectiveness of electronic testing, in particular of its new form (interactive tests). A test is often used as an effective didactic tool for evaluating the extent of gained cognitive capabilities. According to authors Rudman (1989) and Wang (2003) it is provable that the relationship towards e-testing depends on the degree of previous experiences with this form of examination. Conducted experiments (not only by these authors) show that students using the traditional testing form (putting answers down on a paper) are happy to have the opportunity to use a computer for testing. The reason is the fact that they are usually used to a complete explanation of the educational content, frontal examination during the lesson and also in the course of the school year and more limited possibilities to use the Internet for educational purposes. Most of them do not even know about the possibilities of e-learning and electronic evaluation. On the other hand, the group of students who are being tested using the traditional form and at the same time using computers usually prefer the traditional form, while using multimedia tools is more or less normal to them.

“…Twitter and SNS may also be alternatives along the same scope. These conventional studies mostly focus on the class activation itself in general or the exchange of information in a collaborative learning environment [7], [8], [9], [10]. Differently from these studies, we investigate the effectiveness of the prototype that was developed to support students clearly show and pick up where and why they are in trouble in understanding the textbook descriptions.…”

In any e-learning system, students are required to study some course materials normally prepared in the form of textbooks. However it is not an easy task for many students to understand these textbooks. When some doubts and/or questions arise as to descriptions within textbooks, they usually tend to solve this difficulty by themselves or with their friends. This paper gives a prototype of a feedback support system in an elearning where students are encouraged to feedback questions to lecturers by sending selected portions of descriptions in the textbook showing where and why they are in a trouble in understanding the textbook materials.
