Learning analytics is defined as the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data about learners in order to optimize their learning. It was recognized very early that the field of learning analytics offers promising possibilities for education and assessment. In this paper, the interactive and personalized e-assessment system askMe! is presented that makes use of learning analytics ...

The present study was an attempt to investigate the comparative effect of teacher-, peer-, andself-assessment on EFL learners’ vocabulary achievement. Accordingly, 90 female Englishlanguage learners selected out of an initial 140 intermediate EFL learners based on theirperformance on a sample piloted PET took part in the study. All three groups were taught bythe same teacher using the same cour...

This paper proposes an approach for creating and testing an multiagent systems based adaptive social educational game (SEG), QuizMASter, using the concept of simulated learners to overcome experimentation complexity and unpredictable student availability, as is typical with online learning environments. We show that simulated learners can play two roles. First, it can be used for testing the ga...

ReaderBench is a multi-purpose, multi-lingual and flexible environment that enables the assessment of a wide range of learners’ productions and their manipulation by the teacher. ReaderBench allows the assessment of three main textual features: cohesion-based assessment, reading strategies identification and textual complexity evaluation, which have been subject to empirical validations. Reader...

Formative assessment is deemed the collaborative processes in which teachers and learners are engaged for the purpose of understanding the learners' learning and diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses. On the other hand, teachers' beliefs about formative assessment are paramount and might be influenced by a legion of variables such age, educational background, instructional experience, and g...

The demands of an ever changing and complex higher education environment, along with the profile of modern learners challenge current approaches to assessment and feedback. More learners enter the education system every year. The younger generation expects immediate feedback. At the same time, feedback should be meaningful. The assessment of practical activities in programming poses a particula...

this research study employed a mixed-methods approach to investigate the test takers’ perceptions and anx- iety in relation to an english language proficiency test called community english program (cep). this study also evaluated the direct and semi-direct modes for speaking module of this test. to this end, 300 eng- lish as foreign language (efl) students were recruited in the study as test ta...

This study is conducted under the domain of Vygotskian Socio-cultural Theory (SCT) of mind and the notion of dynamic assessment to elevate the linguistic accuracy of EFL learners’ writing skill. 40 homogenous intermediate EFL learners from four intact classes were divided into two dynamic assessment (DA) and non-dynamic assessment (NDA) groups. As a pre-test, the participants were given writing...

Learning performance assessment aims to evaluate what knowledge learners have acquired from teaching activities. Objective technical measures of learning performance are difficult to develop, but are extremely important for both teachers and learners. Learning performance assessment using learning portfolios or web server log data is becoming an essential research issue in web-based learning, o...

In this research, we propose a Social Learning Management System (SLMS) enabling real-time and reliable feedback for incorrect answers by learners using a social network service (SNS). The proposed system increases the accuracy of learners’ assessment results by using a confidence scale and a variety of social feedback that is created and shared through learners’ personal SNS connections. The s...
