Abstract

Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) make great strides in computer assisted education. They enable development of new, Self-Directed Learning (SDL) driven, models of teaching and learning, and among them, Flip Teaching (FT) seems to be the most promising one. The flipped classroom is based on e-materials, then, the associated assessments have to be fully based on e-tests, FT-Computer-Assisted Assessment (CAA) program. Design of such program is the main motivation of the described research. Matching of this program to FT characteristics, taking into account both specific structure of the learning content and students behavior is the main objective. After a short introduction to FT, the e-test organization in the flipped classroom is briefly discussed. Then, Electric Circuit Analysis course case study is presented: organization of Moodle-quizzes based assessment program, taking into account common students behavior, their good and bad habits, is shown, conclusions are drawn and some guidelines are given.
