Information technologies (IT) are increasingly used in education all around the world. The examples of such application are massive open online courses, learning management systems, e-courses, e-books, video lectures, learning assessment tools etc. The learning assessment tools are of particular interest, because assessment is very important part of education. This paper describes the purposes of IT usage for assessment and the different assessment approaches. The paper also presents the web-based computer assisted assessment system developed in the Kyrgyz-Turkish âManasâ University and shares experience of implementation of the system in that university. As a result of this work the authors argue that there are more advantages of implementing such a system for assessment of the large amounts of students comparing to drawbacks like depending upon the technical issues and preliminary work for the item bank development.
