Designing tools for testing with open-ended questions using Java technology

• This paper presents an approach to designing computerised assessment tools for testing with open-ended questions. Student answers are analysed by comparing them to the correct ones, which are constructed using keywords that are essential for the meaning of the answers. The developed tools were used within a course at the Karelian State Pedagogical University. Students preferred open-ended questions to multiple-choice questions. Applying Java technologies and component-based approaches, allowed us to create flexible tools that could be used with diverse computer platforms and integrated into a learning environment.
