SeMCQ – Protégé Plugin for Automatic Ontology-Driven Multiple Choice Question Tests Generation

چکیده
Creating fair and meaningful assessment strategy is one the most difficult areas for every educator. Objective (MCQ) testing has been extensively studied and evaluated as a method for formative and, to a lesser extent, summative assessment. While the objective tests need to be complemented by other assessment strategies in order to assess higher cognitive domains, they nonetheless provide important benefits that are directly addressing the student needs such as, providing prompt and frequent feedback (2008 UK National Students Survey [8]). Moreover, in its more advanced forms, such as ComputerAdaptive Testing, objective tests can “get closer to measuring skills and intelligence” [3]. However, creating a useful objective test is not only difficult but also very time-consuming, which prevents its more wide-spread adoption and use [1]. In this paper we are trying to address this problem, by providing a framework and a prototype of a Semantic Multiple Choice Questions (SeMCQ) generator for an arbitrary knowledge domain. The prototype is implemented as a Protégé plugin. In the following sections we describe the implementation details of the prototype as well as some areas of future work.

ProSÉ: A Protégé plugin for Reusing Ontologies, Safe and Économique
We have developed ProSÉ, a Protégé 4 plugin for Reusing Ontologies: Safe and Économique. This plug-in extends Protégé with the necessary features to support the underlying formalisms to reuse ontologies in a safe and economic way. Safety guarantees that the semantics of imported concepts is not changed and economic guarantees that only the relevant part of the ontology will be imported.
متن کاملThe Protégé Ontoling Plugin: Linguistic Enrichment of Ontologies in the Semantic Web
This paper presents our approach in establishing a framework for semi-automatic linguistic enrichment of ontologies. This effort has been pursued through the definition and implementation of a set of general purpose API for accessing a wide variety of linguistic resources and through the development of Ontoling, a plug-in for the popular ontology development tool Protégé, which allows for brows...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation Of Multiple Choice Questions From Domain Ontologies
The aim of this paper is to present an innovative approach for generating multiple choice questions in automatic way. Although other approaches have been already reported in the literature, the approach presented in this paper is based on domain specific ontologies and it is independent of lexicons such as WordNet or other linguistic resources. The paper also reports on a first prototype implem...
