Psychometric support under Moodle. Póster

Abstract

Moodle (abbreviation for Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is a free and opensource e-learning software platform, also known as a Course Management System, Learning Management System, or Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Moodle was developed to help educators create online courses with a focus on interaction and collaborative construction of content, and is in continual evolution. Psychometrics is the field of study concerned with the theory and technique of educational and psychological measurement, which includes the measurement of knowledge, abilities, attitudes, and personality traits. The field is primarily concerned with the construction and validation of measurement instruments, such as questionnaires, tests, and personality assessments. The main objective of the project is to aid educators in building questionnaires and tests. It is a way to measure the validity and the reliability of questionnaires and tests designed by educators. These measures allow improvements on future questionnaires and therefore improve the evaluation quality of the organization.
