- Abstract
China’s educational industry is undergoing the informatization process under the background of the scientific development, the big data application and the integration of international education market. This paper, based on previous situation, firstly reviews a series of educational informatization policies issued by the central government, which are responses to contemporary educational development and guidelines for further promoting educational informatization in China. The article then discusses that the computer-based examination (CBE) is an inevitable outcome of the trend of educational informatization due to its implementation feasibility and advantages from the perspective of cost, validity, technical support, accuracy, and informativeness. The study on CBE in higher education finds out that though application of CBE in higher education has made great progress, there are bottlenecks on large-scale application and concept adoption. Yet the study also finds positive feedbacks from students’ CBE experience, which indicates that popularization of CBE in university is achievable along with further informatization of higher education in China.
