A Novel Web-Based Online Examination System For Computer Science Education 一种新型的基于Web的在线考试系统的计算机科学教育 A Novel Web-Based Online Examination System For Computer Science Education Yuan Zhenming,Zhang Liang,Zhan Guohua Abstract Web-based Examination System is an effective solution for mass education evaluation. We have developed a novel online examination system based on a Browser/Server framework which carries out the examination and auto-grading for objective questions and operating questions,such as programming,operating Microsoft Windows,editing Microsoft Word,Excel and PowerPoint,etc. It has been successfully applied to the distance evaluation of basic operating skills of computer science,such as the course of computer skills in Universities and the nationwide examination for the high school graduates in Zhejiang Province,China.

The skills include the operating of Windows, MS Office, Networking skills, etc., which are the foundation of a combination of different courses, as well as of electronic-government. Now, every undergraduate must pass the course of the Computer skills, while every civil servant must pass the corresponding Computer Operating Exams. Furthermore, the basic computer education in high schools is in process. Since the late 1990’s, hundreds of thousands of people have taken part in different levels of computer education and testing in Zhejiang Province. It is necessary to build a Web-based learning and examination system for such a large number of people,as an effective solution to mass learning and evaluation of basic computer education. Several Web-based learning and testing systems have been designed, such as WebCT[1], QUIZIT[2], ASSYST[3], and PILOT[4]. The most widely used question types of the Web-based examination system are objective tests and quizzes which assume simple a
