摘要
Learning outcomes in educational context must address issues of measurable standards, so that assessment is strongly linked to the learning-teaching team. Assessment plays a vital role in achieving and maintaining academic standards by diagnosing learning problems and progress, improving and enriching teacher and student performances. No matter at what level viewed - of the individual learner, the class, the institution, the educational system - the term assessment turned in e-assessment as a consequence of the use of e-learning in 21(st) century practice in a technology-rich context. This paper highlights several issues regarding the integral relationship between learning, teaching and assessing by discussing the assessment approach used in the e-plasticity asynchronous module, an e-learning solution designed and implemented in a Land Forces Academy study, as a part of a research project funded by the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovation. The aims of the paper are to describe motivate and comment the "Test" module implementation of the developed e-learning solution module in engineering domain, as well as the impact on students that found the e-learning experience positive and useful, contributing not only to better understanding of subject knowledge, but also to better improvement in critical and analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The use of the educational module and in particular the test part demonstrates that the computer-based assessment, as part of the e-learning solution, is an effective and efficient way to insure that each student has a working knowledge of critical information, allowing work through problem sets with immediate performance feedback.
