Abstract
In some e-learning and blended-learning institutions, such as the Saudi Electronic University (SEU) in Saudi Arabia, prior to the students undertaking exams, the exam questions are distributed to and shared among faculty members. This is done by email which poses a high security risk. Moreover, there is the issue of latency and problems associated with the organization of the exams. Therefore, this paper presents a system to secure the digital content of exam questions and their transmission in e-learning institutions, enabling the control of access to content with suitable management features for security, auditing, and archiving using leading technology solutions for content management and security.
Highlights
This is a proposal for the design and implementation of a module that can be used in colleges and universities to secure and share sensitive content related to exams and questions used frequently in these environments
The proposed system is comprised of three parts
The Qch system, whereby exam sections are exchanged between teachers and units coordinators, reduces by up to seven times the time that it takes for the exchange by the traditional email method which is currently being used in Saudi Electronic University (SEU)
Summary
This is a proposal for the design and implementation of a module that can be used in colleges and universities to secure and share sensitive content related to exams and questions used frequently in these environments In universities, it has become an increasingly common practice for exam questions to be exchanged and shared among instructors so that each can have his/her own copy prior to the commencement of the exam. Our proposed system features a workflow engine, auditing, and archiving features, which should make this solution an appropriate tool for controlling the transmission of documents and content in SEU. To realize this solution and its benefits, we utilized cloud computing.
