Design Overview of an Adaptive Computer-based Assessment System

SPEBC, an adaptive computer-based assessment system, will provide initial, formative, and summative assessments. SPEBC will generate multiple-choice and open-ended questions adapted to the learners’ background knowledge and external representations. SPEBC will generate personalized assignments and will use voting devices to capture the learner’s answers in. Moreover, the personalization approach is based on the generation of personalized responses using for each set of answers a different kind of external representation. Previous studies about the use of adaptive systems and classroom communication systems in the classroom have shown to be effective.SPEBC, an adaptive computer-based assessment system, will provide initial, formative, and summative assessments.

Concepts and their Use for Modelling Objects and References in Programming Languages

In the paper a new programming construct, called concept, is introduced. Concept is pair of two classes: a reference class and an object class. Instances of the reference classes are passed-by-value and are intended to represent objects. Instances of the object class are passed-by-reference. An approach to programming where concepts are used instead of classes is called concept-oriented programming (CoP). In CoP objects are represented and accessed indirectly by means of references. The structure of concepts describes a hierarchical space with a virtual address system. The paper describes this new approach to programming including such mechanisms as reference resolution, complex references, method interception, dual methods, life-cycle management inheritance and polymorphism.Comment: 43 pages.
