Using a new MCQ Generation methodology (CAREGen) in the UK Electricity Distribution Industry

The Construed Antonym Realisation Exercise Generation (CAREGen) methodology for generating Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) test items is described and illustrated using two case studies from the UK Electricity Distribution Industry. The first step of the methodology is to create Controlled Specific Learning Objectives (CSLOs) that define the required assessment outcomes for the generated MCQs. T...
