Introduction

Computer technologies play an important part in modern educational process. Specifically, these technologies are very important in distance education for different categories of students. A LMS (Learning Management System) is used to conduct online training. Moodle, Blackboard are examples of the more common LMS among other systems. In general, LMS is a complex software solution which allows one to create educational courses with theoretical (video, audio, electronic textbooks) and practical (questions, tests, lab work in simulated conditions) material. The management shell of a LMS allows collaboration of different users (teachers, students, system administrators).

MAI CLASS.NET [1] is a LMS used for teaching mathematical disciplines at Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University). Currently, students of MAI have access to courses on probability theory, mathematical statistics, mathematical analysis, linear algebra and analytic geometry, differential equations, and several other courses are in development. The structure of electronic courses and functionality of LMS MAI CLASS.NET are discussed in Section 1.

Several mathematical problems were solved during LMS development, which allow automatic change in operation depending on user actions, and algorithms have been proposed to analyze the statistical data of real users. Problems include formation of

integral rating by statistical processing of test results [2], automatic assessment of questions complexity based on maximum likelihood estimation [3], the formation of individual test questions with and without restrictions at runtime [4]. The main purpose of considering these problems is the introduction of adaptive features in LMS, based on the developed algorithms. These features form a powerful competitive advantage of the LMS MAI CLASS.NET compared to the existing analogues. Another advantage of the LMS MAI CLASS.NET are special materials for creation of a course on one of the mathematical disciplines: different question types, including a formula-type question, questions for self-study and branched script execution, etc. The article describes the technology and toolset used by the authors to solve the problem of software implementation and integration of a set of mathematical methods in the management shell, which provides statistical analysis of users data and adaptation of the solution content to the changing user quantity. Along with the above methods, other methods were proposed for improving the efficiency of the LMS implementation to ensure safety of the mentioned complex techniques and LMS as a whole.

1. Specification of LMS

The complete specification of LMS MAI CLASS.NET is provided in [1]. We will briefly examine the outer shell of the system and several other software components, along with the technology implementation.

The LMS content sections with theory, practice and results are available to all types of users. In the "Theory" section the material is based on the lectures made by the department of "Probability Theory" staff, faculty No 8 "Applied Mathematics and Physics" of MAI. Theoretical material is organized as hypertext and is supplied with a glossary that allows usage as a reference manual and gives the possibility to begin material study practically at any place. The section «Practice> allows to get access to practical questions and laboratory simulation. Review questions of the practical part are divided into 4 types on the execution purposes. Types list and their description are provided in Table 1.

Table 1

Types of questions

Test questions designed to assess the degree of users knowledge of the base course of theoretical material and user readiness to handle practical questions

Self-study questions with a multilevel system of hints for organization of self-study and preparation for exam procedures

Control questions, designed for examination

Labs questions with branched scenarios depending on step by step user action

There are various opportunities to design questions using LMS MAI CLASS.NET. Users can import different objects to design new questions, for example, images and various question types: text, checkbox, radiobutton, formula-type questions by using a calculator

with user-friendly interface. The calculator saves entered formulas as a LaTeX formulas. The LMS uses an algorithm based on parsing of the LaTeX formulas, which allows to check the correctness of an entered formula. One of MAI CLASS.NET advantages is extensive usage of random values in the parameters of all question types. This reduces the chances of using illegal ways to answer the question, for example, when the user knows the correct answer or when somebody else helps the user, and as consequence brings increase in the uniqueness of the questions, which also contributes to change of content in the LMS. There are also special question types developed for the course "Linear Algebra and Analytic Geometry": a matrix question type, another type for vector decomposition in the basis, for solving systems of linear equations, etc.

The section "Results" provides access to statistical data collected by the LMS for various types of users. Personal results of users with detailed information about learning progress for some courses are especially important. This information includes correctness of the answer to one question and full test mark, the time that the user spends to answer one question and to pass the full test, user ratings, access to comparative data of student groups or faculties, etc. This approach helps teachers to detect students that deserve high rating.

Software tools used in LMS MAI CLASS.NET form a set of implementations for mathematical algorithms processing statistical data of real users that work in LMS. LMS uses computer-adaptive testing methods (CAT), that adapt to the examinees' level. In order to advance the solution adaptivity, it is necessary to solve some applied mathematical problems based on special models: Rasch model and one-parameter logistic model (1PL) is used for analyzing categorical data, such as answers to questions on a reading assessment or questionnaire responses, as a function of the trade-off between the respondent's abilities and the item difficulty [5]; lognormal model of Van der Linden [6] is used for response-time (RT) modelling. All of the used models are stochastic, and that creates some problems in developing algorithms for their implementation in LMS. It is further proposed to consider mathematical algorithms based on Rasch and van der Linden models and software tools for their implementation in LMS solutions.

2. Mathematical Algorithms and Their Implementation 2.1. Brief Overview of Technologies Used for LMS

LMS MAI CLASS.NET uses a client-server model of computing. This means that, for example, display of course content is a client-side function, but other functions are server-side, for example, data storage and data processing in the database, evaluation of statistical data of users. LMS MAI CLASS.NET, as well as most of other modern solutions, separately stores static and dynamic content. Static elements of a web page (CSS styles, JavaScript sources, images, etc.) are stored on the server. This reduces system general workload, when it generates dynamic content: questions, theory and user statistical data.

A MySQL relational database management system is used as storage for statistical and other data. PHP (a server-side scripting language designed for web development) scripts are used for actions with the database, but server software allows us to also use other languages for the backend, Python being an example. The advantage of using different programming languages is that algorithms implementation at runtime may be different because of a selected language, and some languages may have special data types which

make implementation of difficult algorithms easier. Mathematical problems of computer-adaptive testing will be described below.

2.2. Mathematical Problems of Computer-Adaptive Testing

The problem of integral rating formation by statistical processing of test results was discussed in [2, 3] with problem of the automatic assessment of question

difficulty using the maximum likelihood estimation.

Difficulty of the question is one of the parameters in Easch model [5]. The probability of success in the model upon interaction between the relevant person j and the assessment question i looks like:

exp (Qj — Wi) Jj,Wl)~ 1 + exp (Qj — Wi)'

P (Qj ,Wi) 4

where wi is the difficulty of question i, Qj is the ability of user j.

The model assumes that with changing of users ability from — ^ to the probability of success will change from 0 to 1. Initial question difficulty and users ability parameters are estimated by using maximum likelihood estimation, and for maximization of maximum likelihood function we used a quasi-Newton method algorithm of Broyden - Fletcher -

Wi Qj

for usage in the LMS default scale. For example, users ability have been converted to a five-point scale from 0 to 5.

The problem of content forming for a variety of tests and control activities

was discussed in [4]. Modern LMS needs a variety of different functions for computer-adaptive testing, so we updated problems conditions in [7] based on problems conditions from [4]. The main addition is that the user has limited time to answer the question so the system or the teacher can give more accurate assessment of the student's potential. Moreover, face-to-face testing, which we can conduct using LMS MAI CLASS.NET, needs to select the right value of time, in the span of which all users can be considered sufficient for testing with selected probability. Below we will describe the problem of content generation for a variety of tests with a time limit.

We have a set Z = (z\,..., zI) of I questions in LMS and M different types of those questions Zm, m = 1,..., M. We will use a matrix A with the dimension M x I to define a question and it's type:

A = \\ami\\,ari

{

1, zi ( Zmi 0, zi ( Zm-

Consider a vector u ( R1 (below all vectors are row vectors), whose elements show whether the question was selected for test or not:

ui

!

1, i 0,

By w ( R1 denote the difficulty vector. Let c be the total difficulty of the test, that is the sum of the selected test questions difficulties.

We want to get the set of tests consisting of k questions of different types considering that k > M. First, we need to select the value of total difficulty c that is calculated using a special algorithm or based on expert review. Secondly, we consider the small difference

c

algorithm. We use e as the difference that was shown above.

We use Van der Linden model [6] for user n response-time for solving question i. Let Tni be a logarithmic transformation of user n response-time for solving question i. We consider that Tni consists of several components: the first one is associated with the difficulty of a question (Pi,i = 1,... ,I), the second one is associated with users abilities (Tn,n = 1,..., N), the third one is associated with all users and all questions and the

n

i

ln Tni = H + Pi + Tn + eni, i = 1,...,I, n =1,...,N, (1)

where eni, i = 1,..., I ,n = 1,..., N are independent random variables, eni ~ N (0, a2) is a normal random variable.

N Tni

random time with lognormal distribution. Let t be the time in which users must pass the test, and let T be the matrix with dimension N x I, whose elements are Tni\

T = \\Tm ||.

Consequently, we have a problem of formation or generation of tests within the time-limit:

U* = Argmin \c — wuT| (2)

u

eI uT = k (3)

c — wuT > —£ (4)

c — wuT < £ (5)

AuT > eTM (6)

P (TuT < f) > a, (7)

где w = (wl,...wI),eI e R1 ,eI = (1,..., 1),eM e RM,eM = (1,..., 1),tf e RN,tf = (t,...,t).

The model of distribution of random response-time during which a user is required to answer the question in the LMS, helps an administrator or a teacher to detect users that use an unauthorized way to answer or help from other users. For example, if a users' response-(1 — a) a

of the LMS must check the user for using illegal methods. If the response-time is not enough

a

the administrator can think about replacement of the question by another one. These CAT methods were discussed in [8,9].

2.3. Features of the Implementation of Algorithms in LMS Shell

The algorithm of solving the problem of test formation is based on a branch and bounds algorithm and checking probability using Monte Carlo method. However, this requires a lot of computing. LMS will need additional computing resources for implementation of algorithms like that. For example, it is better to use libraries with special data types, like data types from Python. In LMS MAI CLASS.XET we use PHP for algorithm implementation. In addition we use a random number generator for lognormal random variables. Also we changed our database and js-sources for fixing response-time of users.

We describe below the implementation of algorithms shown above in the terms used in [1].

LMS MAI CLASS.XET stores static and dynamic content separately: static elements of a web page (CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). JavaScript sources, images, etc.) stored on the server reduce overall system workload, when it generates dynamic content: questions, theory and user statistical data. The generation of dynamic content occurs as an interaction of the statistical database and the content database that consists of three components: "Checker". "Estimator". "Generator". Program implementation of all algorithms is in the "Estimator" component, which collaborates with the database to export and analyze statistical data. "Estimator" needs the result of analyzing to change value of difficulty of question or integral rating of users.

The scheme of collaboration of the main application, the database and "Estimator" components is on Fig. 1.

For the organization of computing processes, we use a time-based job scheduler to run implementations of algorithms periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. Typically.

it automates system maintenance and administration and helps to reduce the load on the server resources. Also, we can make a priority list for calculations and their order. This helps to avoid problems with the synchronization of algorithms, when they collaborate within one database.

The priority list is as follows:

1. Estimation of difficulty of questions.

2. Integral rating.

3. Formation of tests.

The problem of synchronization is solved by using blocking transactions that are available native in MySQL.

Most algorithms used in LMS MAI CLASS.NET require extensive calculations. So, we have to consider server specifications, software, system architecture, ability to upgrade the server or server software, web traffic and attendance hours. At the moment, more than 3000 users collaborate in LMS MAI CLASS.NET during the semester. Peak hours for one day are tmax ~ 7h (usually evening hours from 18:30 to 1:30) and hours with less user activity are tmin ~ 5h (morning hours from 5:00 to 10:00).

Obviously, user activity increases at the end of the semester, which reduces the hours with less user activity to tmin ~ 3h.

3. Functional Security of LMS Software System

In process of security planning for LMS CLASS.NET potential attack channels were investigated. An expert model of potential threats was created. In order to create such a model, linkage analysis of the CLASS.NET software was conducted, and a model of extrinsic features and links was designed according to the IDEF-0 standard. The current implementation of the design uses container architecture of OpenVZ for components virtualization. The open source nature of the OpenVZ project enables the community, as well as commercial stakeholders to scan the source code of the control system (the hypervizor [10]) on a regular basis in search for undocumented backdoors, which positively counts towards the overall code security and stability (see Fig. 2).

LMS software is functioning in the institute intranet, as well as being available from the WAN (Wide Area Network). This means that the virtual NIC (Network Interface Controller) adapters of the application module are the points of demarcation in local security context. The first security measure taken is the isolation of control interfaces from user data channels and content configuration in a separate management network. The actual implementation of such a network can be made using VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) technology, as well as the VPN (Virtual Private Network). The second approach is used in the security design of LMS CLASS.NET, because it provides flexibility of control and enables cascading of the VPN gateway with other gateway types, for example NAC (Network Access Control), NAT (Network Address Translation) or external user authentication via the RADIUS (Remote Authentication in Dial-In User Service) services.

Prevention of massive attacks (like DDoS), as well as exploitation of network protocol nuances using specially crafted network packets is enabled by controlling the access channel to the system with a network security scanner. The scanner works as an early alerting

Controi -SSH

Fig. 3. Network security diagram of LMS CLASS.XET and service data exchange channels

instrument when the attack begins. The global firewall is configured to filter out packets from unrecognized sources. The global firewall can also be configured with a geofilter and blacklist to block large WAN segments, which is a simple but effective proactive measure against massive network attacks. The network security diagram (see Fig. 3) is also designed with the possibility of one of the virtual servers being overrun by hackers in mind. For example, an application worker module of LMS CLASS.NET.

The LMS software was built to work in an environment with load balancing features in mind [1] and an outage of N-l worker modules of the clustered application (where N is the overall number of modules) does not impact the availability of the system itself. In order to prevent an attacker to use the captured modules to launch an attack in the LAN, an automatic micro-segmentation system was included in the design using the local module firewalls. The location of local firewall modules and their management must be external to the LMS software modules themselves to ensure additional security. The optimal placement of the local firewall filters is on the virtual switch level using the control module engine as a configuration controller for these firewalls.

Load-balancing between LMS software modules is conducted using the reverse-proxy instrument. Such a module can implement several functional security and availability tasks simultaneously. The reverse-proxy secures the data-exchange channel in LMS software. The reverse-proxy can consolidate traffic from LMS modules being sent via HTTP protocol, and publish the application as a whole outside using HTTPS secure protocol with prior key exchange. During a network attack, the reverse-proxy covers the web-servers by itself and is able to withstand more sophisticated attacks due to the lightweight nature and target specialization of the code. In case of a global outage of all N modules of the LMS instrument, for example as a result of an administrator error or during services hours of configuration or update of the whole system, the reverse-proxy can provide LMS users with cached static content. The Theory module static content can be cached and provided in such a way.

A central event log of the LMS system infrastructure must be collected and stored to empower decisions to execute attack prevention mechanisms, as well as for future security incident based forensics. Protection against potential attackers erasing or falsifying part of the logs after worker module capture is ensured by dedicating a separate server as a central point of log collection and storage from all infrastructure components (the schema on Fig. 2 defines only several logging and control channels for the sake of illustration simplicity). Manual analysis of the logs by an operator is a very time-consuming procedure with low speed of decision making, so an automatic search for correlations of log events and a prepared attack signature library should be considered. Log analysis is implemented as a separate server with the possibility to execute control commands on the configuration control module [11].

All of the mentioned components in the network security schema can be implemented as virtual machines (full virtualization [10]), and also all modules with no network level functions can be implemented as virtual containers. Actual implementation of the mentioned security and infrastructure control components may differ. As an examle for the current research work, a set of ready instruments is proposed, focusing on open source and distinct features of the LMS system itself. The instruments were grouped in a table (see Table 2).

Conclusion

The article considers the program implementation of intellectual support and security of LMS MAI CLASS.NET. We use special algorithms as computer-adaptive testing methods (CAT), which differs from similar learning management systems. Statistical information, that we can calculate using algorithms, can be imported into other LMS or university automation systems. Used LMS software security tools significantly improve the reliability of its work, which is confirmed by many years of experience using the system in the MAI.
