Abstract

Electronic learning systems play an important role in the educational process. They typically provide access to lecture material and practical tasks and are used for testing. A significant advantage of e-learning systems is that they provide instant verification of test results and tools to analyze them. This article presents a number of indicators that allow assessing the ability of test questions to grade students by their levels of knowledge. Test questions not meeting the threshold requirements are proposed to be excluded from the test, thus improving the quality of the test. #CSOC1120.
