Objective of the study was to develop and offer specific recommendations on how the Moodle E-Test system could be applied in the academic physical education curricula. The study was designed to analyze, among other things, the practical e-testing experience accumulated by the Physical Education and Sports Institute of the USU in the following academic disciplines: Information Science; Natural Scientific Basics of Physical Education; Biomechanics; and Sport Metrology. The questions, tests technologies and contents were developed using the problems-focused design method, with the Moodle E-Test system applied for the electronic progress/ final tests. The tests included combinations of classified questions, parallel facet questions, multimedia survey tools and open essays. The practical e-tests in the above disciplines showed a high validity and dependability of the test data. Practical recommendations based on the study data and analyses give the means to reduce errors in the e-test design for other academic disciplines and improve the academic progress tests on the whole and thereby the physical education quality in particular.

Keywords: e-testing, test questions, test mission, Moodle E-Test system, test design.
