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.
