Abstract
Information and communication technology (ICT) has deeply affected the way people in modern societies become educated and learn new things. Several “digital skills” are needed for young people in order to live and work in the 21st century. During the years to come, a tremendous development and spread of e-learning, and consequently e-assessment, is expected. Common question types used today will soon prove inadequate to assess the required “digital skills.” In this paper we deal with this problem and we propose some solutions.
