Importance of keeping Central Exams
ICT and Multimedia in Exams
Use of standard software, video & sound, simulations, animations, web-based information
Presentation (data, information, models, graphs, video) on screen
Questions and Answers on paper. Correction by teacher on paper or by computer
To give an impression…..
The Central Examination Board, Policy
ICT in every profile and every sector
project 2002 -2006 parallel to exams on paper schools choose themselves Obligatory in practical
exams with vocational subjects
Added value!
3 kinds of ict-applications
1. Offer information (i)
2. Use of standard software (s)
3. Exams on screen (b)
open questions and practical exams
open questions and practical exams
Computer-processablequestions
ICT Exam subjects 2003-2006
Vwo Physics (s) biology (i,s) Math A 12 (s) Math A1 (s)
Havo Physics (s) Biology (i,s) Geography (i,s) Economy 1 (i,s)
Scope of applicationScience
Questions on video fragments (bi) Data Video (Coach 5, Coach 6) Modeling (Coach and Excel) Experiments and data processing
(animations, Flash, Java-applets etc.) Simulations
Biological Example…
Examples in Physics…Exam 2004

School Organization
Adapting network (cheating, copying..) Setup examination room with PC’s System requirements (install and test CD-rom) Data transport online More successive sessions: training! Software available at home
Added Value?
More visualization possible Multi-media, animations, measuring possibilities Data-processing Testing larger range of skills: ICT, experimentation. Try-out options, ‘self’-corrective:
→ questions more open,
adressing problem-solving capacity! Realistic, less ‘artificial step-by step’ problems
