    Abstract

    The development and use of a virtual assessment tool for a
    signal processing unit is described. It allows students to take a test from anywhere using a web browser to connect to the university server that hosts the test. While student responses are of the multiple choice type, they have to work out problems to arrive at the answer to be entered. CGI
    programming is used to verify student identification information and record their scores as well as provide
    immediate feedback after the test is complete. The tool has
    been used at QUT for the past 3 years and student feedback
    is discussed. The virtual assessment tool is an efficient
    alternative to marking written assignment reports that can
    often take more hours than actual lecture hall contact from a lecturer or tutor. It is especially attractive for very large classes that are now the norm at many universities in the first two years.

    Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

    These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
