%Scholen doen alles schriftelijk => veel werk, geen standaard waar leerlingen
%wel behoefte aan hebben. Ook afkijken blijft een probleem.
%Kennis moet gedeeld worden, zo ook goede toetsvragen (wanneer is een vraag "goed"?).
%Specialistische vakgebieden zijn niet goed te toetsen op papier, bijv:
%programmeren is lastig schriftelijk, test kennis niet goed en kost veel tijd om
%na te kijken, veel handiger en leerzamer zou zijn om op de pc te werken.
%dit is ook van toepassing op niet-ict vakken, zoals scheikunde (structuurformules,
%ruimtelijke tekeningen etc.).
For as long as schools and universities have existed, students have had to
answer exam questions by writing on paper. Auditing these answers generates a
lot of work. Teachers often spend a lot of time deciphering various student's
handwritings and drawings. After that, they have to add up the obtained points
for each question to determine a grade, which is sensitive for human errors. As
a result, students often have to wait a long time for their grades. \\
Since there is no official standard for the format of an exam, teachers create
exams in their own distinctive manner. For example, an enthousiastic biology
teacher could create an extensive 4-paper test with images, schemes and 30
separate questions, but forget to group the questions by subject. Or, a lazy
computer science teacher who has no intention of auditing complex coding
questions, might just make up a bunch of simple multiple choice questions.
Students are likely to be confused having to deal with all these different ways
of examination, they are not sure what to expect until they have made an old
exam from the same teacher. However, these old exams are often the same as the
current exams, so the students could get high grades without actually
understanding the meaning of the questions. They just write down the questions
that are given by other students who they know have already made the exam. \\
In today's world of technology, we'd expect that computers would help us conquer
the shortcomings of primitive methods. For example, an average PC can calculate
the grades for an entire class in less than a second, without any errors. A
keyboard always reads the same input for a key, independent of the handwriting
of the person typing. Finally, a
