1.2. Principles of our WBT system
For it is difference between skill-purpose testing
system and theory-purpose testing system, we propose
that our system should satisfy the requirements as
following [7]:
1) Training practice skills
Training the practice skills is the essential goal of
basic computer skills education, so our system should
support not only the objective questions, but also the
operation questions, such as programming, editing
Microsoft Office documents, operating Microsoft
Windows, and taking advantage of internet.
2) Mastering flexible techniques
The basic computer operating skills have distinct
character that one can use different methods to
accomplish the same task. Therefore, the teaching
should not limit the students to use only one technique.
In other words, the system should base on the actual
software environment at the client machine to support
the learners using flexible techniques and different
operations, not as the simulation systems.
3) Providing heuristic teaching and learning
