Description |
A joint KMi-IET project funded by the e-OU initiative. This is a feasibility study
to determine the most useful measures for inclusion in a system for carrying out automated
monitoring of marking of student essays.<br><br>
Project Goals<br>
Long-term goals include augmenting the University's e-TMA infrastructure with three
new services to support tutors, monitors, and students through the processes of preparing
essays and reports. These services share common technologies, based on advances in
automated essay grading, and will:<br><br>
· give monitors an environment which will enable them to focus on
assignments which most need their attention, and to provide tutors with high quality
feedback.<br>
· give tutors automated feedback on their marking, and contextualised staff development<br>
· give students automated feedback on written assignments<br><br>
Progress<br>
Since its beginning in February 2002, the first phase of this project has concentrated
on improving monitoring through identification of the most appropriate surface measures
for this task. Future work includes integrating content-based techniques such as Latent
Semantic Analysis. |
