Multiple choice answers -we can offer hints -we can remove one/more answer(s) For each question, the score is recomputed due to the offered assistance. The student can finish successfully the test, but he will not get the maximum grade. 2. For complex tasks (problem solving) -multiple tasks -requirements are depending on each other -the values computed at step k are used at step k+1 -errors in initial stages cancel any notable result Solution: at the end of each step, the results are validated and the correct answers are provided else 2008 Implementation else 2008 Why Java? -Platform independent -Portable solutions -Learned in school -Integration with web technologies else 2008 Software Use Case Diagram User Registration Administrator Course browsing User Administration else 2008 Design Class Diagram else 2008 else 2008 Screenshots else 2008 Create a new user else 2008 Reading material else 2008 else 2008 Tests else 2008 else 2008 Authoring tests else 2008 Authoring courses else 2008 Conclusions -The solution is perfectible -This is an implementation for an adaptable system -Improvements are on their way -Major modules implemented else 2008 Bibliography: -Stefan Tanasa, Cristian Olaru, Stefan Andrei- “Java, de la 0 la expert”, editura Polirom,2003 -Mark C.
