Abstract

Emerging technologies are paving way to the development of numerous opportunities to enhance the teaching and learning process to a greater extent. E-Learning, an outcome of such technological growth, is revolutionizing the educational activities in different dimensions. Content is the most significant part of any e-Learning system that includes presentations, simulations, exercises, animations, test data, assessment status etc. Quality of any e-Learning system depends on how well the content is protected from malicious attacks or unauthenticated transactions. Especially, tests in e-Learning are to be given higher level priorities which have to be properly secured. In this context, this paper focuses on securing test data in two levels, namely using proper authentication scheme and data protection approach.
