Recording, Publication, Testing and Evaluation of Quantitative Knowledge in an e-Learning Environment

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

One of the burning questions in majority of universities in the Czech Republic is maintaining and increasing the teaching process quality at permanently growing interest in university studies. Implementation of eLearning technologies indeed has been of a great assistance while addressing the stated issue however it is obvious, that conventional text study supports cannot fully substitute direct or mediated interactions of teaching staff with student. The complex rich-media visualization of the tutorial process becomes the absolute necessity for the overall transfer of information from the teacher to students. The issue of key aspects of implementing rich-media technologies at VŠB-TUO is dealt with the MERLINGO Project (MEdia-rich Repository of LearnING Objects). Using rich-media technologies allows to carry out automated complete records of the whole educational process with minimum demands on financial, time, personnel and technological costs and to achieve their immediate access in the environment of LMS Moodle. Testing, evaluation or practicing students&apos; knowledge especially in quantitative subjects such as mathematics or statistics can be also facilitated using LMS Moodle. The module Test, which is a standard part of commonly used e-learning environment LMS Moodle, is not very suitable for developing mathematical or statistical tests because it contains only a limited number of functions that can be used for creating quantitative tasks. At VŠB-TUO we have chosen the R language and Sweave and Exams libraries for generating quantitative tasks. Texts of tasks are created in the markup language LaTeX. Using the Exams library the tasks can be compiled and exported to PDF format or Moodle XML format. The eLearning methods described above entail a number of both technical and didactic problems and difficulties. The paper pointed out some of these problems and how the authors have dealt with them.
