Abstract
e-Learning services have been widely used to education in order to make teaching and learning adaptive and intelligent. One of the key functionalities of e-Learning service is student assessment which aims to test students’ understanding about the learning materials. No matter using which kinds of teaching approaches, or which forms of learning materials, the aim of learning is to achieve the learning outcomes. To assess student learning performance, it requires us to produce effective tests that not only correctly evaluate student knowledge level, but also make sure the tests are suitable for individual students. Because it will take teachers a lot of time to manually create questions for each student. And it will also be very expensive if we prepare a huge database for randomly selecting a set of questions as the test. To address the above problems, we have integrated the ‘test’ as a part of cognitive learning process, so that we can make sure the cognitive process can correctly monitor the learning process where students can be guaranteed to achieve their learning outcomes. We also proposed an automatic test generation scheme based on Association Link Network to automatically generate personalized test without involving any manually effort. In the meantime, students are able to assess themselves at any time without teacher intervention.
