Extension of an online self-assessment Apps Portal for the use of selected Moodle e-assessments

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digitalization in education, learning management systems (LMS) have become an integral tool for educators. Leveraging this trend, this paper presents the evolution of a self-assessment application portal originally inspired by the didactic concept of a school mathematics app, which enables educators to effortlessly create interdisciplinary learning apps without having any programming knowledge. Building on this earlier work, this research explores the use of LMSs in different higher education institutions, with a particular focus on Moodle, and explores the question types and text editors used to apply them for self-assessment purposes. An important aspect of our research focuses on the seamless transfer of selected self-assessment questions from Moodle into the customised Apps Portal further developed in this academic work. The effectiveness of text editors as tools for the creation of self-assessment content is explored, with a particular focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Finally, the results of the self-assessment application portal and its potential perspectives are presented.
