The inventive system for testing knowledge of students comprises the board (1) of a teacher which is connected through a switching unit (2) to 'n' personal boards (3, 4,...n) of students, each of which switches-on the information input and information display devices, wherein atouch monitor (5, 6,...n) is used in the form of the information input and display devices.

Description

 System for monitoring student knowledge

Technical field

The utility model relates to teaching and monitoring educational devices and can be used both in testing knowledge in the process of taking exams and in the learning process.

Prior Art

A known system for controlling the knowledge of students in the process of taking exams, including a teacher’s console connected through a switching device with personal examiners' panels, JP 2006072040 A. Each examiner’s panel is equipped with a keyboard for inputting information and a liquid crystal display. The disadvantage of this system is the certain difficulty for the examiner associated with the use of the keyboard due to the need to compare the information on the display screen with the keyboard symbols and switch attention from the keyboard to the screen and vice versa. A known system for monitoring student knowledge, comprising a teacher’s console connected via a switch to “p” student panels, each of which contains information input means in the form of a keyboard or a mouse-type manipulator and means for presenting information in the form of a monitor, RU 10919 Ul.

This technical solution was made as a prototype of this utility model.

Its disadvantage, as well as the analogue described above, is the difficulty of operation, because when using a keyboard or a mouse-type manipulator, firstly, certain skills are needed, and secondly, this involves the constant switching of attention from the screen to the information input means and back.

Disclosure of invention

The objective of this utility model is to simplify the operation of the system by eliminating the need for constant and repeated switching of the student’s attention from the screen to the information input tool and vice versa.

According to the utility model, this problem is solved due to the fact that in the system for monitoring student knowledge, containing a teacher’s console connected through the switch with the “p” student personal panels, each of which includes an information input tool and an information presentation tool, As a means of inputting and presenting information, a touch monitor is used.

The applicant has not identified sources containing information on technical solutions identical to this utility model, which allows us to conclude that it meets the “new” (N) criterion.

Brief Description of the Drawings

In the future, the utility model is illustrated by a detailed description of examples of its implementation with reference to the drawing, which shows a block diagram of the system.

The best embodiment of the invention

The system includes a teacher’s console 1, which in a specific example is an IBM x Ser 206m P4 640 2MB, 512 MB type personal computer with a 17 "ACER LCD monitor and an optical mouse PS / 2. The teacher’s console 1 is connected to personal computers via switch 2 with remote controls 3.4 .... n students. In a specific example, the D-LiPk DES-1024DG switch is used, which has 22 10/100 Mbps ports and 2 copper ports of the type Gigabyte Ethernet. fully integrated on motherboards type MB VIA EPIA ML personal computer s; as a means of inputting and presenting information, remote controls 3.4 .... n contain touch monitors 5.6 .... n _3, respectively, such as ЗМ Тouch Sustеms 15 "Ml 50 of Mitsubishi firm, Japan. In a specific example, the system elements are connected by an Ethernet cable (patch cord), but wireless communication is also possible The system works as follows: When taking the exam, the teacher manages the exam using the remote control 1. At the same time, he manually or using a barcode scanner enters the number of the examination card of the student being examined or his other personal data, and also indicates to him ER of the personal remote control After the examiners occupy the remote controls 3.4 .... n indicated on the touch monitors 5.6 .... n, their personal data is displayed, as well as a brief instruction on the use of the personal remote control and the knowledge control procedure (passing the exam.) After the teacher gives the “start” command from remote control 1 (to all remote controls 3.4 .... n or to a part of them), a section is displayed on the corresponding touch monitors 5.6 .... n with the inscription "exam". The examiner touches this area with his finger, after which the image of the exam ticket appears on the touch screen. This image contains several sections, each of which includes information about one of the questions on the exam ticket. The examiner clicks on any of these sites of choice, after which the question is fully displayed on the touch screen in full screen, and also provides options for answering it. The examiner touches his chosen answer option, while the monitor selects the area of this answer, for example, with using color. When you touch the selected area again, the answer selected by the examiner is recorded in the memory of the teacher’s console 1, and the image of all questions on the exam ticket is returned to the touch monitor of the student’s console. In this case, the question to which the answer was given is highlighted in a special way, and then this question becomes inaccessible for a second answer. The examiner selects the following question and answers it in the same way as described above. In addition, the examiner has the opportunity to postpone the answer to any question, while leaving the area of the open question in the area of the exam ticket.

Using the claimed system, students' knowledge can be monitored both during examinations and in the learning process. Since in this utility model the touch monitor is both a means of displaying information and a means of entering it on the student’s remote control, it eliminates the need for constantly switching the attention of students from the monitor screen to the means of entering information in the process of monitoring their knowledge; this greatly simplifies the operation of the system, almost completely eliminates random technical errors that are not related to the level of knowledge of the examinee (student).

Industrial applicability

To implement this utility model, well-known widely used equipment is used, which determines According to the applicant, the utility model meets the criterion of "industrial applicability" (IA).
