Computer Assisted Testing and Evaluation System: Distance Evaluation Using Mobile Agent Technology 

Abstract

The growth of Internet has led to new avenues for distance education. A crucial factor for the success of distance education is effective mechanisms for distance evaluation (DE). Existing Internet evaluation mechanisms, such as web based testing, rely principally on the client-server model. Such mechanisms usually do not scale well and also do not fully support features like: evaluation of subjective questions, delivery of dynamic content, and off-line examinations. These features are extremely desirable for distance evaluation and there is a need for alternate ways of designing such applications. We study the existing mobile agent frameworks to understand state of the art. We then use the mobile agent approach for designing, implementing and deploying a system for distance evaluation of students. We consider the entire examination process: (i) Paper setting, where the examiners spread over the internet collaborate to produce a question paper, (ii) Examination conduction, where the question papers are distributed and the answer papers are collected, and (iii) Answer-paper evaluation, result compilation and publishing. We have designed and implemented, Computer Assisted Testing and Evaluation System in Distance Evaluation using Mobile Agent Technology. Mobile Agent in Distance Evaluation aims to map closely to real world examination scenarios and addresses the full scope of the examination process, viz., paper setting, distribution and testing, evaluation and result compilation. In this research we describe how to implement the Distance Evaluation using Mobile Agent Technology.
