An approach for designing test bank in adaptive learning system

The study puts forward an approach for designing test bank used in adaptive learning system. The approach is based on a mechanism called grasp degree towards concepts, which can record the students' learning performance. Through grasp degree towards concepts, the learning system could provide adaptive guides for learners. On the basis of this mechanism, the study establishes a test question database for C programming course. The test question database is embedded in an adaptive learning platform, with B/S as the underlying framework, relying on Java web technology and SSH (Spring + Struts + Hibernate) framework for implementation. This paper describes the underlying design for the test question bank.
