Comparative e-Evaluations Gathering in Open and Distance Learning

Abstract

Evaluation plays an important role in education, as it enables to extract qualitative and quantitative conclusions by the purpose of upgrading the educational process. In open and distance learning web technologies have been used quite enough. Moreover, the usage of various computer systems enables efficient processing of large amounts of data. In this context online techniques have been proposed for educational evaluation, emanating from the area of cryptography, which ensures the integrity of the evaluation process, providing anonymity to all participants. In this paper, we propose the usage of e-evaluation protocols in order to perform comparative e-evaluations gathering.
