[abstract] =>
Development of communication and information technology opens the possibility to create new learning and assessments tools. Beyond the world wide access to education across the country and globe, the opportunity of running virtual experiments and assisting processes modelling, the communication and information technology facilitate implementation of collaborative learning, promoting active implication of students in educational process. Regarding the assessment process, its design had also been changed, the concept of computer-aided assessment being more frequently used at university and post-university level. The students’ knowledge assessment is necessary to be as objective as possible. Starting with experiences obtained by creation of online assessment systems for general chemistry, and from the necessity of a valid and reliable assessment, an auto-calibrated system has been developed. The aim of present research was to assess the microbiology and toxicology knowledge of fourth year students at the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering from the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania by using the developed knowledge evaluation system.
