Applying Fuzzy Logic and Rule-based Approach to Facilitate Teachers in eAssessment

The teachers play an important role in eAssessment not only as
evaluators, but also as designers of assessment activities which
have to be created according to the course curriculum and
suitable pedagogical scenario. During three pilots performed in
Technical University of Sofia, the TeSLA system as an
innovative solution with its five instruments was tested. The
teachers had to decide which instrument/instruments to use
according to the type of an assessment activity as well as which
instruments are suitable for the course at whole to achieve its aim,
keeping the specifies of pedagogical strategies.
The paper proposes a solution for decision making that gives the
teachers a rating list with appropriated instruments according to
the type of an assessment activity and suggests suitable
instruments when two or more assessment activities must be
performed. For this purpose, the Fuzzy sets theory and ruledriven
approach is applied.
