Journal Title: Role of Higher Education Institutions in Society: Challenges, Tendencies and Perspectives - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
As the higher educational institutions integrate into the common European educational framework, the issues of internationalization of higher educational institutions become more and more important. E-learning is defined as a strategy for internationalization of higher education. When implementing the provisions of the internationalization strategy, it is necessary to adapt the e-learning and e-learning results’ assessment systems to the learners, representing different countries and institutions. In order to find out whether e-learning assessment technologies meet today's higher education development trends, a research was conducted. Analysis of the research on the e-learning assessment technologies was performed, the comparison of assessment tools integrated in e-learning systems Moodle, ATutor, Sakai was performed. Upon performing an analysis of e-learning assessment technologies, it was established that in Lithuania the studies are performed in the directions of use of data mining technologies, designing of the content of e-learning and e-learning results assessment systems, improvement of the e-learning systems and standardization. When evaluating the studies in the area of internationalization of e-learning assessment technologies, it was established that the studies of scholars analyze the application of e-learning and e-grading systems in different language environments however the application of the systems in different studies results assessment systems is little studied. Upon performing an analysis of assessment tools integrated in e-learning systems Moodle, ATutor, Sakai, it was established that in e-learning systems under consideration for the assessment of students’ study results it is possible to apply or create different study result grading scales corresponding to the needs of the institution. However, none of the systems under analysis has an integrated grades conversion function which enables the presentation of grades on the student’s study results grading scale. The analysis highlighted the e. learning assessment technologies development trends. E. learning assessment technologies should be improved by extending the functionality of the conversion function evaluations. Grades conversion models have been developed. Grades conversion model considers the accumulated distribution of positive grades on the convertible studies results assessment scales and converts the positive grades by employing the principle of the most probable assessment equivalent, taking into consideration the assessment rating in the group of the analyzed grades. Upon analyzing the possibilities of integration of grade transfer algorithm into Moodle system, it was established that the most convenient way to integrate the grades conversion algorithm by extending gradebook functions and adding a new gradebook report module.
