The scoring device 20 according to the present embodiment transmits the scoring result to the terminal device 4 on the examinee side.
It also has a function of notifying through the transmission / reception unit 30 and the communication network 3.

Next, the online test question book creation procedure and the test procedure performed by the online test question book creation apparatus 10 and the online test system 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This will be described with reference to steps S11 to S21).
First, prior to the start of a test and the start of preparation of a collection of questions, various initial settings are performed (step S11). At this time, the operator (tester) uses the selection mode designating unit 18 to designate whether or not to make a plurality of selections in the intermediate classification group creating unit 13 and the question book group creating unit 15.

A large number of questions are read out from the question database 5 by the small classification group creating unit 11, and the small classification groups q (1), q (2), q (3),..., Q (m-1), q (m) is created and stored in the small classification group storage unit 12 (step S12), and the correct association unit 19 associates the small classification group with its correct answer (relationship setting) (step S13).

Using a random function, a predetermined number of small classification groups are randomly extracted and selected from the small classification group storage unit 12 by the medium classification group creation unit 13, and the medium classification groups Q (1), Q (2) ,..., Q (k) are created and stored in the middle classification group storage unit 14 (step S14), and the correct association unit 19 associates the small classification group forming the middle classification group with the correct answer (small classification group). (Relationship setting of the answer to the answer) (step S15).

Next, a predetermined number of intermediate classification groups are randomly extracted and selected from the intermediate classification group storage unit 14 by using a random function by the question group generation unit 15, and the problem collections (1), (2), .., (N) are created and stored in the question book group storage unit 16 (step S16), and the correct answer associating unit 19 associates the middle class group forming the question book group with the correct answer (answer to the middle class group). Is set (step S17).

Thereafter, the question book selecting section 17 selects at least one of the question books (1), (2),..., (N) from the question book group storage section 16 and selects the online test question book. As a result, a question is given to the examinee by transmitting it to the examinee's terminal device 4 through the transmission / reception unit 30 and the communication network 3 (step S18). In addition, when giving questions to test takers by the host computer 2,
A different collection of questions may be selected for each examinee and the questions may be selected, or one of the collections (1) to (N) may be selected and the same questions may be set for all test takers.

The collection of problems thus created is stored in the terminal device 4.
Is received by the examinee, while referring to the questions displayed on the display of the terminal, the examinee inputs the answers to the questions using a keyboard or a mouse, and inputs the answers to the host computer through the communication network 3 and the transceiver 30. A reply is sent to the second scoring device 20 (step S19).

Upon receiving the answer from the terminal device 4, the scoring device 20 refers to the correct answer associated with the collection of questions transmitted to the terminal device 4 according to the association result from the correct answer associating unit 19. Automatically score the answer from the terminal device 4 (step S
20). Then, the scoring result is notified from the scoring device 20 to the examinee's terminal device 4 via the transmission / reception unit 30 and the communication network 3 (step S21).

As described above, according to the online test system 1 and the online test question book creating apparatus 10 as one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of hierarchical question groups are sequentially created while question groups are selected at random. When a plurality of problem collections (1) to (N) are created as a tertiary problem group, at least one of them is used as an online test collection.

Thus, from a plurality of sub-groups q (1), q (2), q (3),..., Q (m-1), q (m), A collection of online exam questions will be created. In other words, when examining the same system (same subject, same subject), it is possible to create completely different online test questions, and it is possible to individually give completely different exam questions to many candidates become.

Accordingly, it is not necessary to prevent the leakage of the problem, that is, it is not necessary to specify the date and time of the test or take measures to keep the test problem confidential. As a result, the examinees are no longer bound by the examination date and time, and can take the exam at their own convenient date and time, which greatly contributes to the convenience of the examinees, Can greatly reduce the labor required for confidentiality of examination questions.

The selection mode designating section 18 designates whether or not to make the selection a plurality of times and switches the selection, so that the problem can be adjusted flexibly according to the presence or absence of the same examinee (second examinee). It is possible to prevent the creation of the same questions for the same examinee by switching the creation format, and to allow the creation of questions in the format containing the same questions for different examinees. it can. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a problem in which the same question is given to the same examinee.In addition, when the examinee is different, a question is created in a format including the same question, and the Diversity can be increased.

Further, by associating a question with its correct answer by the correct answer associating unit 19, even if an online test question book is created by randomly selecting from a plurality of hierarchical question groups, the question book and the correct answer can be obtained. Since the relevance of the answer to the answer can always be grasped, scoring of the answer from the examinee's terminal device 4 can be immediately and automatically executed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be variously modified and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the tertiary problem group is a problem collection group (the case where the value of n specified in advance is 3) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. Not n
May be set to four or more.

In the above-described embodiment, the terminal device 4 on the examinee's side is connected online to the host computer 2 via the communication network 3, but is directly connected to the host computer 2 via the communication network 3. 2 may be connected online.

According to the online test question book creating device (claims 10 to 12) and the computer-readable recording medium (on claim 13 to 15) in which the online test question book creating program is recorded, a plurality of initially created plural An extremely diverse plurality of online test questions are created from the primary question group, and it is possible to individually give completely different test questions to a large number of examinees.

Therefore, it is not necessary to prevent the leakage of the problem, that is, it is not necessary to specify the test date and time or take measures to keep the test problem confidential. As a result, the examinees are no longer bound by the examination date and time, and can take the exam at their own convenient date and time, which greatly contributes to the convenience of the examinees, Can greatly reduce the labor required for confidentiality of examination questions.

Further, by specifying whether or not to make the selection a plurality of times, the question creation format can be switched flexibly according to the presence or absence of the same examinee (second examinee). In other words, since the creation of the same question is suppressed for the same examinee, the question creation format is switched flexibly according to the presence or absence of the same examinee (second examinee). In addition to preventing the problem of giving the same questions to the examinees, if the examinees are different, questions will be created in the format containing the same questions, and the diversity of the contents of the exam collection will be increased. It can be increased (claims 2, 5, 8, 11, 14).

Further, by associating a predetermined number of i-th problem groups with the correct answers of the respective i-th problem groups, a collection of online test questions is randomly selected from a plurality of hierarchies of question groups. Also, since the relevance between the collection of questions and the correct answer can always be grasped, it is possible to immediately and automatically score the answer from the examinee (terminal device) (claims 3, 6, 9, 12, 15).
