A computer program (MICHELE) has been written to facilitate preparation by medical faculty of reference examination questions based on a 'core curriculum'. Questions may be used by faculty to test student command of coursework and by students at their initiative to assess their progress. Students may also use the program to direct their future studies according to computer-generated suggestions. MICHELE is a medical-instructional, computer-handled evaluation and learning enhancement system which consists of access, executive, author-instruction, student and statistics subsystems. These subsystems guarantee security of the data base, generate examinations according to category, difficulty and format (true--false, multiple choice, case history), generate practice sessions for students and student self-tests, and analyze the individual and cumulative results of examination and self-test sessions. The program is directed primarily toward evaluation of performance and instruction in the clinical disciplines; in this setting it is desirable to develop a sequence of unique, equally weighted examinations throughout the academic year and, at the same time, encourage mastery of core material encompassed in the data base. MICHELE is written in CDC FORTRAN IV and utilizes an indexed sequential file organization for the data.
已经编写了一个计算机程序（MICHELE），以方便医学教师根据“核心课程”编写参考考试题目。教师可以使用这些题目来测试学生对课程作业的掌握情况，学生也可以主动使用这些题目来评估自己的进步。学生还可以根据计算机生成的建议，使用该程序来指导自己未来的学习。MICHELE是一个医学教学、计算机处理的评估和学习增强系统，由访问、执行、作者指导、学生和统计子系统组成。这些子系统保证了数据库的安全性，根据类别、难度和格式（是非题、选择题、病史题）生成考试题目，为学生生成练习课程和学生自我测试，并分析考试和自我测试课程的个人和累积结果。该程序主要用于评估临床学科的表现和教学；在这种情况下，希望在整个学年中开发一系列独特的、权重相等的考试，同时鼓励掌握数据库中包含的核心材料。MICHELE用CDC FORTRAN IV编写，并对数据采用索引顺序文件组织。
