To actually buy environmentally friendly products, consumers need to recognize legitimate sustainable claims. This is a challenge considering the dissemination of misinformation in advertising promoting products typically referred as greenwashing. In an experimental design (N = 302) we investigated two different literacy measures that aim at increasing about greenwashing: informative text (text...

Photo Quiz: A 32-year-old male with a 2-month history of cough, fatigue, and weight loss.

Quiz bowl answering represents a challenging task in natural language processing where few indication entities of answers are given in the questions. Traditional approaches such as manual feature engineering and bag of words representations can fail to reason the correct answers due to such lack of direct indications. Recently recursive neural network (RNN) model shows promising performance in ...

This paper describes the process and outcomes of a study to develop a tool to measure nurses' knowledge of palliative care. The development of the palliative care quiz for nursing (PCQN) entailed the convening of an advisory committee, a wide process of consultation, the development of a conceptual framework, determination of format, generating of items and pre-testing, piloting and further tes...

Ein verbreitetes Problem beim Unterrichten von Software-Engineering ist, dass den Studierenden die Erfahrung mit großen, realen Softwaresystemen fehlt. Dadurch wird die Sinnhaftigkeit der vorgestellten Methoden nicht ausreichend erkannt. Wir versuchen, die fehlende Erfahrung zu simulieren und haben dazu die Methode des Justin-Time Teaching (JiTT), in Form von Quiz, eingeführt. Die Studierenden,...

In this chapter, we describe our question answering system, which was the winning system at the Human–Computer Question Answering (HCQA) Competition at the Thirty-first Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS). The competition requires participants to address a factoid question answering task referred to as quiz bowl. To address this task, we use two novel neural networ...

We propose an extension of the Teaching Machine project, called Quiz Generator, that allows instructors to produce assessment quizzes in the field of algorithm and data structures quite easily. This extension makes use of visualization techniques and is based on new features of the Teaching Machine that allow third-party visualizers to be added as plugins and for new scripting capabilities. Usi...
