For E-learning such as web based teaching (WBT), in order to reduce the cost of making questions, a computer system that generates questions and answers is desirable. However, such a system does not always generate them correctly. As a result, human instructors have to check the generated questions and remove the errors. In this paper, we propose a technique for removing errors in the generated...

The purpose this study is to explore university instructors’ opinions about methods online during Case design was employed line with research questions. Data were collected from 199 instructors working at different universities Turkey via a questionnaire ...

Introduction. Evaluation is the most effective method to improve educational quality. From the ancient times, assessment of the quality of pedagogical - scientific activity of scientific committee members is considered as the essential method of evaluation in educational settings. For teachers' assessment, different methods are used such as group director's opinion, dean's judgment. co works ...

ExamGen is a software application developed at Queensland University of Technology to assist instructors with assessment in large classes (250+). The ExamGen program was developed for the Faculty of Information Technology in response to an investigation into appropriate assessment alternatives designed to cope with the ever increasing enrolment numbers in tertiary institutions, in particular in...

Creating valid and reliable classroom tests are very important to an instructor for assessing student performance, achievement and success in the class. The same principle applies to the State Exit and Classroom Exams conducted by the instructors, state and other agencies. One powerful technique available to the instructors for the guidance and improvement of instruction is the test item analys...

Students in a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) interact with each other and the course staff through online discussion forums. While discussion forums play a central role in MOOCs, they also pose a challenge for instructors. The large number of student posts makes it difficult for instructors to know where to intervene to answer questions, resolve issues, and provide feedback. In this work, we...

New accreditation requirements focus on education as a “continuous improvement process.” The most important part of such a process is that information gets fed back into the system to improve the quality of output. This requirement is often interpreted to mean a feedback loop that iterates on offerings of courses or entire academic years. This paper provides two smaller and more immediate feedb...

Digital educational resources could enable the use of randomized experiments to answer pedagogical questions that instructors care about, taking academic research out of the laboratory and into the classroom. We take an instructorcentered approach to designing tools for experimentation that lower the barriers for instructors to conduct experiments. We explore this approach through DynamicProble...

32 For two-and-a-half hours, our instructors-in-training had listened intently, scribbled notes, and asked intelligent questions. They had learned how to use Blackboard’s course management tools to set up folders, learning units, and announcements. They had discussed best practices for online communication and e-mail management. They had even nodded knowingly as we explored the intricacies of t...

Assessments represent an important component of undergraduate courses because they affect how students interact with course content and gauge student achievement of course objectives. To make decisions on assessment design, instructors must understand the affordances and limitations of available question formats. Here, we use a crossover experimental design to identify differences in how multip...
