Summary:In this paper, we present the students' evaluation procedure at the UNED (Spanish Distance Education University). At UNED, students are free to choose the location and the date they take their exams. However, this approach requires that teachers define and develop several exams for every single subject. To ease this task, in this paper we present Autotest, a tool that generates exams in an automatic way. We instantiate this tool for a subject being taught by the authors, Complexity and Computability taught in the third year of the Computer Science studies at UNED. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
