Marjan Gušev

Abstract: Education is one of the systems that have been always upgrading. During past years the teaching process has been always modified and upgraded in order to enable more efficient learning. The use of new ICT technologies enables innovative ideas to make the learning process more efficient. The students gain with better skills and obtained knowledge by these innovations. We established an e-learning system that supports the education process. This system offers not just content available on-line by using web technologies, but also a wide variety of simulators, animations and films as multimedia approach to the system. In addition to this system we use a system of interactive quizzes and questionnaires as part of the self testing tool that help students understand basic concepts and acquire skills. The system of e-testing helps the professor to assess the knowledge and grade the students. The on-line learning tool is the interactive system that supports the homework assignment and grading tool and helps both the students to learn and the professors to check the knowledge obtained. In this paper we report the results from using these innovations as improved learning methodology, and how it affects the level and degree of obtained knowledge and skills, students� interest and average score in total knowledge. We present indicators to measure the results gained by introducing new methodology. These indicators concern quantity and quality measures, obtained by analyzing the pass rate and average scores in the class.

Keywords: E-learning, E-testing, on-line learning, knowledge assessment.
