The examination is one of the most broadly used strategies for assessing learning and capacity of a student. Adamawa State University is engulfed in a lot of irregularities during examination and also delays of results after the examination. These and another manual method of processing results give room for errors during results compilation. The utilisation of Information and Communication Technology in directing examinations can enhance proficiency and decrease the delay of student's result after examination. A Computer Based Testing System (CBT) was designed and implemented to diminish the delay of student's examination result. The CBTS was designed using the Agile model of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). Implementation was done utilising the open source technologies, like XAMPP server, MySQL, PhP, JavaScript, Cascading Style Sheet and Hypertext Markup Language. The CBT presents notice of student's outcome quickly in the wake of taking the examination, enable the student to retake the exam (where necessary), and furthermore give diverse kinds of questions. The utilisation of CBT system can enhance the productivity and gainfulness of scholarly establishments as it diminishes the cost of stationeries and work associated with conducting examination manually. This by implication can reduce the cost of buying examination materials (papers, printers, turners etc) and students can have their results immediately after the examination.  The developed system proved to be efficient and can be enhanced by adding other forms of questions like diagrammatic question to make the test address more diverse areas.

AbstractThis contribution reports on the developing and piloting of a computer-based version of the test of English as a foreign language produced by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), where it is currently used for the admission of international students and the subsequent evaluation of their language progress. Among other benefits, computer-based testing allows for better and individualised feedback to both teachers and students, and it can provide a more authentic test experience in light of the current digital shift that UK universities are undergoing. In particular, the qualitative improvement in the feedback available for test-takers and teachers was for us a crucial factor. Providing students with personalised feedback, that is, directly linked to their performance, has positive washforward, because it means we can guide their future learning, highlighting the areas they need to work on to improve their language skills and giving them suggestions on how to succeed in academia. Furthermore, explaining the meaning of test results in detail improves transparency and ultimately washback, as teachers can use the more accessible marking criteria, together with information on how their students performed, to review plans and schemes of work for subsequent courses.

Advent of technology has caused growing interest in using computers to convert conventional paper and pencil-based testing (Henceforth PPT) into Computer-based testing (Henceforth CBT) in the field of education during last decades. This constant promulgation of computers to reshape the conventional tests into computerized format permeated the language assessment field in recent years. But, enjoying advantages of computers in language assessment raise the concerns of the effects that computerized mode of testing may have on CBT performance. Thus, this study investigated the score comparability of Vocabulary in Use test taken by 30 Iranian undergraduate students studying at a state university located in Chabahar region of Iran (CMU) to see whether scores from two administrations of testing mode were different. Therefore, two similar tests were administered to the male and female participants on two testing mode occasions with four weeks interval. Employing One-Way ANOVA statistical test to compare the mean scores and Pearson Correlation test to find the relationship between mode preference and performance revealed that two sets of scores were not different and gender difference was not also considered a variable that might affect performance on CBT. Based on the results, computerized version of the test can be considered a favorable alternative for the state undergraduate students in Iran.

One of the computer-based testing is the Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT), which is a computer-based testing system where the items were given to the participants adapted to test the ability of the participants. Assessment methods are usually applied in CAT is Item Response Theory (IRT). IRT models are most commonly used today is the model 3 Parameter Logistic (3PL), which is about the discrimination, difficulty and guessing. However 3PL IRT models have not provided information more objectively test the ability of participants. The opinion of the test participants were tested items were also to be considered. In this study using CAT in combination with IRT model of 4PL.In this research, the development of CAT which uses about 4 parameters, namely the discrimination, difficulty, guessing and questionnaires. The questions used were about UAS 1 English subjects. Samples were taken from 40 students answer with the best value of the total 172 students spread across 6 classes to measure the parameter estimation problem. Further testing using CAT application 4PL IRT models compared to CAT 3PL IRT models.From research done shows that the CAT application combined with IRT models 4PL can measure the ability of the test taker shorter or faster and also opportunities participants correctly answered the test items was done tend to be better than the 3PL IRT models. Keywords : Ability, CAT, IRT, 3PL, 4PL, Probability, Test

Computer Based Testing

This research paper is an evaluation of usability of software for computer-based testing in Kogi State University by students and candidates with albinism. A qualitative research design was employed for the study because the intent was to elicit information from the respondents. The responses show that the interaction of the user (students with albinism) with computer through specific interfaces during the course of computer-based testing was reasonably satisfactory. However, the software used does not give warning sounds (auditory displays) to indicate that something needs attention during CBT. From the response of 88.7% of the respondents, it is obvious that the software effectively monitors time during CBT examination. Disappointingly, there was no time extension placed on the software/program for student with albinism to complete the test as reported by 91.9% of respondents. All the respondents were of the opinion that assistive technologies should be adopted during CBT examination for people with low vision in KSU. Therefore, this paper recommends that the software designers for CBT in KSU should take into consideration more graphics interfaces, auditory displays, time extension for students with low vision and various assistive technologies that students might use. The University management should make effort at providing assistive technologies to compensate for low vision students. This will help advance quality and equity in education by providing fair and valid assessment for all students and candidates including those with albinism.
