A Scheme to Create Simulated Test Items for Facilitating the Assessment in Web Security Subject

Network security practice learning can be regarded as the hands-on learning, so how to efficiently evaluate the learning outcome of students is an important issue. Accordingly, this study proposes a scheme to create the Simulated Test Items for online assessing the learning outcome of students in Web Security subject, called SimTI-WS scheme. The created Simulated Test Item based on SimTI-WS scheme is able to allow students to virtually operate and interact with the simulated Web Security scenario, e.g., WebGoat. Therefore, the SimTI-WS scheme is workable and the performance of the evaluation concerning the Web Security Subject can thus be expected to be improved.
