Support for knowledge assessment in STEM education using ELARS recommender system

Education in STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is very important for today’s students since they will have to be able to successfully deal with the challenges of technological society in the future. In the context of courses related to the STEM, practical application of theoretical knowledge often involves the implementation of complex mathematical procedures and calculations. To enhance the assessment of students’ knowledge of such procedures in STEM courses, technology support can be provided to teachers within e-learning systems. This paper presents an approach to support teachers in assessment of learning outcomes in STEM education. The approach is implemented within the educational recommender system ELARS. The system enables teachers to design online assessment activities and monitor students’ results, and provides formative assessment support. The paper also presents results of using the ELARS system to support the assessment process in a higher education course.
