Description

Assessment tests are commonly used to measure the pedagogical effect. To shorten the test length, we previously suggested the use of computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Based on the study, we propose increasing the frequency of CAT-based assessments during the course, while further reducing the test length per class, thus decreasing the total number of test items during the course. For that purpose, we utilize a CAT algorithm including collateral information, which we call Chain-CAT. We present the design of the algorithm, a preliminary result of analysing its efficiency by numerical simulation and discuss the feasibility of this system.
