Resumen de An Innovative Approach to Data Capture in Automated Assessment
The microcomputer has had a significant impact on the development of computer‐assisted learning. It has not resulted in a parallel development in computer‐managed learning especially in the area of computer‐based testing. One of the reasons for this is that testing, especially in the conventional group testing situation, requires efficient data capture. The usual medium for this has been by marked cards. Equipment to read cards is expensive compared with the processing power required. The development of a low cost input system is discussed in terms of the appropriateness of imposing program controlled answering strategies on candidates attempting a conventional multiple choice objective question achievement test.
