Automated question quality rating (AQQR) aims to evaluate through computational means, thereby addressing emerging challenges in online learnersourced repositories. Existing methods for AQQR rely solely on explicitly-defined criteria such as readability and word count, while not fully utilising the power of state-of-the-art deep-learning techniques. We propose DeepQR, a novel neural-network mod...

Comparison between the various impact factors of a few Russian journals demonstrates the deficiencies of the popular citation indices. DOI: 10.1134/S1990478909030065 Since recently there has been much ado invoked in science by incessant attempts at replacing expertise with numerical manipulations. Of especial relevance to the Russian mathematical community are the following indices: • MCQ, the ...

Following call Oman Vision 2040 to emphasize educational practices that promote development higher-order cognitive processes, this study raises following question: Can online multiple choice question (MCQ) quiz tap into skills apply, analyze and evaluate? was also critical at time...

In spite of the high accuracy of the existing optical mark reading (OMR) systems and devices, a few restrictions remain existent. In this work, we aim to reduce the restrictions of multiple choice questions (MCQ) within tests. We use an image registration technique to extract the answer boxes from the answer sheets. Unlike other systems that rely on simple image processing steps to recognize th...

BACKGROUND Teaching programmes in medical education are now routinely employing active learning strategies to enhance the learning process and engage students in higher levels of learning. Team-based learning (TBL) is one active learning strategy that builds on individuals' strengths by allowing them to collaborate and work as a team to achieve a common learning objective. AIMS The present st...

BACKGROUND M-learning is education using personal mobile electronic devices. Given the prevalence of these in society and amongst healthcare professionals, we aimed to assess their use and feasibility in improving the educational programme of a single vascular institution. METHODS A weekly vascular departmental teaching programme was initiated with registrars giving 30-min presentations on a ...

BACKGROUND The impact of web-based formative assessment practices on performance of undergraduate medical students in summative assessments is not widely studied. This study was conducted among third-year undergraduate medical students of a designated university in Malaysia to compare the effect, on performance in summative assessment, of repeated computer-based formative assessment with automa...
