An academic perspective of assessment questions bank
There are several electronic assessment systems
being used in institutions of higher education (HE),
especially in Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
institutions. Some of these institutions built their
assessment system into their institution’s Virtual Learning
Environments (VLE). Most of these assessment systems
are for general purposes where assessment questions are in
the form of simple multiple choice question (MCQ) or
short-answer questions. In practice, these types of
assessment questions do not match many of the current
learning requirements and learning outcomes. The concept
of an assessment question bank that can be used by
academics to share assessment content within or across an
institution is not new, but the advancement of technology
and technical developments now have made such a
repository realizable than ever before. A question bank is
now a specialized repository that can be accessed via a web
interface for platform independence. The use of technology
in developing the question bank provides much relief for
the chores associated with preparing assessments, which in
turn enhances the quality of the questions and improves the
quality of the assessments. This paper presents the
experience of Open University Malaysia (OUM) in
developing its own Question Bank (QBank). This QBank
system is designed to help the Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) who need to develop, classify and store their
assessment such as MCQ and essay-type exam questions.
This software is integrated with the OUM’s Virtual
Learning Environments (myVLE) in order to allow easier
and wider access to the SMEs and faculty. (Abstract by author
