Sažetak
In this paper we describe Enthusiast – a flexible tool for the automatic generation of pen-and-pencil multiple-choice test sheets. Enthusiast uses a database of multiple-choice questions and a test specification provided by the user to generate randomized multiple-choice test sheets suitable for machine-scoring. The questions database may be augmented with metadata tags, effectively defining user-specific questions taxonomy upon which detailed test specifications can be based. Enthusiast may be used to generate test sheets of adequate variability, speed up test administration, and ensure objective and fast grading. We have recently used Enthusiast in several courses at our faculty, for both summative and formative knowledge assessment, and received positive feedback from students.
