Abstract
Rooted in many education system, assessment by written exams in a live only time evaluation is a traditional way to judge the student learnings. This live only time evaluation method leads to dysfunctionalities such as high levels of stress and the assumption, by the students and by some teachers, that exams reflect the educational goals. This paper presents the Assessment Centers in Schools (ACiSs) project which aims to mitigate some of the identified problems. The final goal of the ACiSs system is a web platform which allows students to have an out of class assessment system, reducing factor like stress by granting the possibility to complete more than one examination and consequent approval per module of the studied subjects. The ACiSs system is comprised by a dataset of questions, properly categorized, which allows the automatic generation of exams wordings for summative and formative assessment. In the latter case, exams can be generated in order to mitigate individual weaknesses in the subject’s curricular goals.
