Abstract

The introduction of mobile devices into the learning pedagogy can compliment e-learning and e-testing by creating an additional channel of assessment with mobile devices. The current study describes the design issues that were considered for the development and the implementation of a CAT on mobile devices, the CAT-MD (Computerized Adaptive Testing on Mobile Devices). The system was implemented in two phases, where initially, a standalone prototype application was developed in order to implement the architecture of the CAT-MD. After a formative evaluation, the second phase took place, where a server-based application was developed in order to add new functionalities to the system so that CAT-MD can be an effective and efficient assessment tool that can add value to the educational process. The mobility of the CAT-MD eliminates the need for a specialized computer lab, as it can be used anywhere, including a traditional classroom.
