Multiple Criteria Choice of Assignment Assessment System in Online Courses in Learning Management Employing ELECTRE Method Variations

The main control elements in online courses are tests and assignments. The latter are utilized for checking the quality of performance of works with free response, e.g. practicals. Numerous research studies, dedicated to online learning, address various issues of assignments. However, a matter related to selecting the most appropriate assessment system used in assignments, is insufficiently developed. For instance, in the existing research, a task of a multiple criteria choice of assignment assessment system is not set, and interests of all basic roles, involved in online courses, are not taken into account. To overcome the problem, a technique of the multiple criteria choice of assignment assessment system, employing ELECTRE method variations and considering interests of the roles: a teacher-online course developer, administrator-moderator, teacher assistant/peer reviewer, checking an assignment, and learner, performing the assignment; is proposed in the paper. The technique was piloted involving the ELECTRE method variations: I, Iv, Is, II, III, IV and Python application, and allowed to find the most appropriate assignment assessment system.
