Computer-based
second language assessment ca be use for assessing purposes and score of language
tests. Something I learned from this
article and that every teacher should know was the benefit of computerization
provide assessments and evaluations that can be shorter, better more efficient
and suiter for students. Besides, in the article there is a part where it discusses
Computer-Based Authoring Options, there
a high variety of online web tool that can contain the CMSs (course
management systems) and these have available some extensions depending on the
language proficient. Adding to this part of the article one example of online
sources where teacher can develop language test including responses type like
multiple-choice,
multichoice, true-false, fill-ins, matching, and short answers using an
exact-matching strategy is Moodle (http://www.moodle.org/).
Some of the advantages of using CMS is they are developed to track where and
when the learner log in the course, teachers can set periods of time to complete
the assessment, teachers can set up the number of changes that students have to
complete the task, and animation. Another CMS that really called my attention
was
Discovery
School’s Quiz Center (http://school.discovery.com/quizcenter/
) because like Moodle is a free online tool where teachers can create multiple-choice,
short-answer, true/false, or essay-type test tasks. Something I want to
remember from this article is all the online tools presented because they are
free and very good option to replace paper based tests
