Abstract

Problem statement: This study described the analysis, design and implementation of the Questions-Bank system that allows the students of primary, preparatory and secondary schools to take web-based quizzes and exams, to download course reviews and previous exams. Questions-Bank, means that each question has a weight and area of knowledge deals with it. The system facilitated generation of automatic, balanced and different exam sheets, that containing different types of questions, covering the entire curriculum and displaying gradually from easiness to difficulty. The exam sheet produced by the system, takes into account the different levels of the students from excellent, good, to fair and avoids any mistakes of language and non-clear terminologies. Approach: We had used the V-model to develop the system, this model started by specifying the system requirements, analyzed and classified the requirements into functional and nonfunctional requirements, constructed the use cases and domain model, the system design was started by determining the database tables and appropriate interfaces and finally, the implementation phase was launched by implementing the functionalities of the system. Results: Our system was used successfully in distance learning as well as in self-training. We have tested the system with different type of courses taught in the schools, ranged from primary to secondary levels. The feedbacks of both teachers and students were highly promising. Conclusion: Implementing this system will allow the schools to create a Questions-Bank database. The system allowed the school 'students to take quizzes, free exercises and exams, to download course reviews and previous exams.

Highlights

  • Introducing Internet at schools has encouraged the development of new tools and systems within the scope of education and training

  • In this research project we have introduced the web-based "questions-bank" system, which can be used with any school courses and may save hours in exams and quizzes preparation and correction, as well as may save resources like, photocopying and distributing the exams papers, locations of these exams, teachers and assistants

  • We gather preliminary requirements that we use to build an initial version of the solution. We show this to the client, who gives us additional requirements

Summary

Introduction

Introducing Internet at schools has encouraged the development of new tools and systems within the scope of education and training. A new era of learning and training approaches has emerged, where new educational models have been developed, students could learn independently at any time or location, by connecting to the Net along with the appropriate systems and tools. At the same time, could teach through “on-line” setting and could schedule lessons and exams without the classical physical constraints. This electronic learning approach, known as e-learning, has opened new horizons in teaching for both teachers and students[1,2,3,4]. The evaluation mechanism help students to discover whether they have gained the required knowledge as expected and provide appropriate and timely feedback to teachers to adjust their lectures, exercises and exams[5,6,7]
