Academic assessment, either in the form formative evaluation so as to improve teaching/learning or summative evaluation so as to evaluate the end result of schooling, often takes the form of questions and problems to be solved by students. As such, solving problems/questions is one of the most indispensable and important elements in the teaching and learning process. To allow students to reach a satisfactory mastery level, a sufficient amount of questions/problems are needed to enable students to apply learned knowledge to various situations. To deal with the demands, metadata of problems/questions, authoring or automatic generation of problems/questions, and adaptive exercise are pertinent issues.

Besides, a number of observations have been made about how student-generated questions can be of value and be a valuable strategy if realized on web-based learning environments. How various interventions of problems/questions and its claimed effects can be better understood and appreciated in light of different theories (such as test theory and metacognition) are in urgent need of further investigation and elaboration.

In ICCE2006 and 2007, we held successful workshops where we paid special attention to â?œquestions/problemsâ?? in technology-enhanced learning. This is the 3rd workshop focusing on the same topic. This continuous workshop will provide a good and timely opportunity to present and share the results and issues of investigations about \"problems/questions\" in ICCE community. We cordially invite presenters and participants who are interested in further exploring the many facets and potential uses of \"problems/questions\" in education/learning from a theoretical, technological, pedagogical, sociological or administrational point of views.



Topics of interest include, but not limited to:

Problem/question generation/authoring/posing

Learning by problem/question-posing

Problem/question variation/changing

Problem analysis and evaluation

Structurization of domain knowledge

Problem/question selection

Metadata or Ontology of problems

Metacognition in problem-solving or problem-posing

Test theory

Instructional intervention for problem/question-authoring in classrooms
