Abstract :
The paper presents a software application for automated evaluation of students with quiz testes which doesn´t use computer for every participant at the test, though maintaining the advantage of automated assessment of computer based systems. The benefits of the application, regardless the automated evaluation, are related to the possibilities of generating a large number of different tests (practically a different test for every participant) with the same structure (respecting the same template) with the same level of difficulty, making inspiration between participants almost impossible, but keeping the objectiveness of the evaluation. Other authors present in their papers automated assessment software but they are using the computers as the interface with the participant and the focus lays on the client-server technology. Using papers instead of computers as the interface, decreases very much the infrastructure required for automated evaluation and, also, discourage the participants to interact one with other or use different gadgets in order to cheat at the “shadow” of the terminals.
