Teachers have to create quizes, pupils have to be introduced to e-assessment, and hardware and software have to be prepared to perform it. In the first year, it is necessary for a teacher puts a lot of effort, time and extra work into the new way of learning but it pays off over the following years. Cooperation between the members of a team, who are responsible for e-assessment of knowledge, is of utmost importance.
