Paper Abstract:
|
Electronic learning is considered as an efficient mechanism in knowledge transfer. Traditional instruction, when defined as teacher-centred, hierarchically organized and individually assessed, is a pedagogical approach held in contempt by many in the educational community. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the application of instructor-centred paradigm when it is applied to an adaptive formative Computer Assisted Assessment (CAA) system. Formative assessment is used as a diagnostic tool for students and teachers to identify and improve areas of weakness (Williams, 2000). This paper describes parts of work in progress within the context of an instructor-centred model of e-learning. The main goal of this study is to investigate the issues concerned with applying an instructor-centred paradigm into an adaptive CAA system in order to support learning and teaching objectives |
