Abstract

The Hebrew Online Module is an authoring and evaluation tool designed for administrating online assignments in Hebrew and English. While similar commercial products are readily available, only a few accommodate right-to-left languages such as Hebrew or Arabic. The module, a standalone tool, complements the class environment by freeing class time and reducing investment in exercise/quiz preparation, grading, and score management. We outline here our considerations during the design and implementation phases; conceptual questions regarding the educational objectives of the module are beyond the scope of this paper.
