Automatic Limited-Choice and Completion Test Creation, Assessment and Feedback in modern Learning Processes

The objectives and expectations for learning processes have changed dramatically from remedial repetitive learning to today’s learning with understanding to become independent in the learning process. Approaches such as self-directed, explorative or example-based learning not only need advanced e-learning solutions for the knowledge transfer process, but also require enhanced methods for knowledge assessment and feedback. Motivated by the situation stated so far, we have started a research program to support knowledge assessment and feedback by computer-based automatic and peer assessment. In this paper we will focus on the automatic generation of limited-choice and completion questions from learning content, the answer evaluation and the feedback provision.
