In the article two automated control systems for training are considered by the authors.The use of new information and communication technologies in education and science, especially distance learning is a priority for higher education. This allows you to track feedback between the students and teachers, to provide a quick check of a student learning, provide material for independent study of any training courses. So the Moodle system is intended for creation of the qualitative online courses in the subjects in the form of lectures by the lecturers, testing the students’ knowledge, self-teaching of new material. It is translated into ten languages and is used in many educational establishments of different countries of the world. Besides, it is very suitable both for online-courses and for support of internal instruction. Moodle with its opportunities is equal with famous commercial control systems of educational process. The difference is that Moodle is accessible and open source software that enables to adjust it for any educational establishment. Moodle on-line courses comprises a lecturer, the students and educational material. The course is created by an administrator appointing teachers for supervising it. Within the system the course is not only means of organization of educational process but it also may be just an area of communication for the people interested in the same themes. In turn the computer program «Universys WS» is intended for the development of the automated systems and ensuring differentiation of the personified access to the functions, services and data of the personnel information system, the pupils’ and customers’ ones by means of connection by HTTP or HTTPS (protocols) through data transmission networks. The main functions of this program are collecting, storage, change, deletion and processing of personal information; protection of the processed personal information from unauthorized access; management of an educational establishment structure; management of its branches; automation of planning and making up timetable; automation of making up planned and actual classroom teaching load; control of the students progress and rating of mastering of main educational programs; realization of distance educational technologies and carrying out procedures of personal electronic testing of the students. The comparative analysis of these systems has been made and their general characteristic has been represented by the authors.
The article deals with the methods of adaptive testing of students’ knowledge (the algorithm of classical adaptive closed testing, the algorithm of the adaptive closed testing «Renaissance» by Grigorieva-Demyanova, the algorithm of the adaptive closed testing «Pendulum» (Mayatnik) by Grigoryeva-Demyanova, the algorithm of the adaptive closed testing «Neoclassicism»). All the methods of adaptive testing are described in details by the authors, the mathematical model of timed creation of the adaptive test, the algorithm and the block diagram of an adaptive computer test are introduced. On the basis of this flow diagram the corporate authors independently developed a computer testing shell based on web programming (using the web pages tools - php, management databases - SQL and the ability of a secure access to a site - SSL) and put it on the Internet. A great advantage of this computer program for online testing is that there is no need to install it on a computer, it is only necessary to have an access to the Internet. At any time a student can visit the website and pass the test using not only a computer or a laptop (Windows or Linux computer operating systems) but also by means of a smartphone or a tablet (Android operating system). Now therefore we come to the conclusion that this program is of great importance for introduction of the innovative method of evaluation of students’ knowledge in virtual education. The teacher having an access to the system of editing (who knows a login and a password – the For the Teacher button) can see the browsing history with the following data: who, when, on what topic and what mark a student received having passed a test in this system of testing. The program works in such a way that questions in tests change the order (i.e. mix up) therefore it doesn’t make sense to remember the sequence of answers. This program has a set of advantages in comparison with other programs (installation on a computer is not required, a student can pass a test at any time, completely free, it is not necessary to license it, any operating system is acceptable), there is only one shortcoming – it will be impossible to interact with the testing program without the Internet access that means the ultimate efficiency of the developed program.
The authors in the article consider an actual problem of improvement of the training process with application of online testing for examination of students. The special attention is paid to kinds of computer tests, approaches and requirements to their creation and ways of use in educational process. The group of authors independently developed the computer testing shell on the basis of web programming (with the use of web pages toolset – php and database management systems – SQL) and shared it through the global network, requirements to its development and process of using the tests for estimation of students’ knowledge are described. A great advantage of this computer program for online testing is that there is no need to install it on a computer, it is necessary to have access to the Internet only. At any time a student can visit the website and pass a test using not only a computer or a laptop (Windows or Linux computer operating systems) but also by means of a smart phone or a tablet (Android operating system). Thus we see that this program is of great importance for introduction of the innovative way of estimation of students’ knowledge in remote education. A teacher having access to the system of editing (who knows a login and a password – the For the Teacher button) can see the browsing history with the following data: who, when, on what topic and what mark a student received having passed a test in this system of testing. The program works in such a way that questions in tests change the order (i.e. mix up) therefore it doesn't make sense to remember sequence of answers. Ukraine is intended to enter the European Union where the major part of study hours is intended for independent study therefore the program developed by the authors of the article is very relevant. This program has a set of advantages comparing with other programs (installation on a computer is not required, a student can pass test at any time, completely free, it is not necessary to license it, any operating system is acceptable), there is only one shortcoming – without the Internet access it will be impossible to interact with the testing program that means the ultimate efficiency of the developed program.
