Web-based Tool for Educational Environment and its Providing Services to Design, Report and Analyze Questionnaire/Testing

Abstract

Questionnaire and online testing are very important for teachers and students to realize their effective education as well as to improve their environment. This paper describes a Web-based tool to support educational environment, which can provide suitable services to design easily, to carry out smoothly, to report visually and to analyze statistically questionnaire/testing. We have developed our Web-based tool with “Ruby on Rails”, applied it to real lectures and evaluated it based on feedbacks from teachers and students through practical educational situations. With such an application, teachers will be able to carry out Web-based questionnaire/online testing, to review or score the feedback from students and to visualize students' understanding levels easily and smoothly.
