CHEM-LEARN: THE NEW EChemTest® ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

Abstract

EChemTest® [1] is the electronic Self Evaluation Session (SES) test service offered by the Virtual Education Community (VEC) standiing committee of the ECTN [2] Association in order to evaluate Chemistry competences for workers, students and, more in general, individuals interested in self-evaluating their own Chemistry competences. EChemTest® SESs are up to one hour long electronic-test (e-test) sessions consisting of a set of 30 randomly selected Questions and Answers (Q&A)s run on the cloud by the local examiner using the open-source software EOL [3]. The large EChemTest® bank of Q&As covers entirely the de facto standard contents of the ECTN Eurolabels grouped into the Libraries: General Chemistry 1 (GC1), General Chemistry 2 (GC2), Analytical Chemistry 3 (AC3), Biological Chemistry 3 (BC3), Chemical Engineering 3 (CE3), Inorganic Chemistry 3 (IC3), Organic Chemistry 3 (OC3) and Physical Chemistry 3 (PC3). SESs are run either in a National Testing Centre (NTC or just TC) or in an Accredited Test Site (ATS) belonging to (or associated with) a member of ECTN signatory of the ad-hoc Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
