Information Channel Based Measure of Effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Assessment in Flipped Classroom

Properly designed Assessment Program, both Formative tests and Summative test (Exam), is the basic part of arbitrary engineering course. Today, computerization of Assessment is a norm and in the 2nd generation of Smart Classroom, computerization means first of all active use of mobile technology. Then, measurement of effectiveness of Computer-Assisted Assessment, achievements of learning outcomes, correlation between number of Formative tests solved by the students and the Exam Pass/Fail ratio, is absolutely essential. The proposed measurement method is based on Discrete Memoryless Channel principles and utilizes mutual information as the measure of this correlation. The Case Study is presented and it confirms usefulness of the proposed measure. Some guidelines, good practices in Computer Assisted Assessment design are given.
