Objective There is a dearth of research into the quality of assessments based on Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) items in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). This dataset was generated to determine whether MCQ item writing flaws existed in a selection of MOOC assessments, and to evaluate their prevalence if so. Hence, researchers reviewed MCQs from a sample of MOOCs, using an evaluation protocol derived...
If MOOCs are to play a role in the future of higher education it is imperative that we critically examine how they are currently functioning. In particular, questions persist about the role MOOCs will play in the future of formal accredited learning. As the focus turns from informal and free to formal, accredited and paid, greater scrutiny will be brought to bear on the quality of the courses themselves...
This article discusses the aspects of quality and tests, whose definitions came from Software Engineering, and its application in OER (Open Educational Resources) design and repurposing. This proposal is intended to support people, playing different roles, interested in using, creating or adapting OER. It is hoped that through the test descriptions, producing teams or individual creators would be...
For industrial robots, an approach is proposed to normalization of precision readings in which the precision requirements are formulated on the basis of results of measurements in calibration of the vectors of linear and angular errors relative to specified positions of the transported object.
Historically, it is well known that issues related to security of software applications are normally omitted by the development teams owing to a lack of expertise or knowledge in security policies. With the emergence of WEB 2.0 applications and technology many systems became to be ported from the original platform to the WEB, making the security flows became more serious. Entire systems, complex or...
