摘要:
Multiple variants of essentially the same multiple-choice questions are generated, having similar appearance, but actually different answers. Any single test has at most one variant of any particular question for which multiple variants exist. Different versions of the test can be generated by changing the combination of question variants used. In one aspect, different versions of the test identified by different combinations of variant questions can be used to determine the source of an unauthorized leak of test questions. In another aspect, the responses of a test subject to variant questions can be analyzed for suspicious patterns, indicating possible unauthorized access to a previous test version.

Evaluation of competence in broad domains presents a major challenge to educators. Review of the literature on portfolio assessment suggests that it may be the ideal venue for assessing competence. The portfolio allows the learner to be creative and in the process facilitates reflective learning that is a key component in professional development. The portfolio also has the capacity to provide an infrastructure for the variety of assessment tools that are needed to evaluate the diverse domains of competence. In addition, the web-based infrastructure provides a platform for national study of the assessment tools that have been developed in the step towards evidence-based education. Thus the portfolio serves as an evaluation tool on three levels: 1) individual resident assessment, 2) program assessment based on aggregate data of resident performance and 3) provision of a national data base that facilitates the study of the educational process by studying assessment tools and impact of educational interventions. Discussed is the implementation of a web-based evaluation portfolio for residency training in a medical education program.

A method and system for on-line resolving is described that dynamically provides resolvers with rules for evaluating answers to particular types of data items. Rules are stored which relate to procedures for evaluating the data items. When data items are displayed to a resolver for evaluating, the corresponding rules are displayed for evaluating the displayed data item.

A system provides training by automatically transmitting learning activities or tasks to an individual during the day. In one embodiment, this is done over the Internet by transmitting as a series of limited content mini-lessons to an individual's computer, wireless phone, or personal digital assistant so that the individual learns faster and more completely by being prompted to perform simple learning tasks throughout the workday. Each lesson or guided practice range in duration from 15 seconds to approximately 5 minutes or less, depending on content requirement. In one embodiment, mini-lessons and follow-up activities are designed to be integrated into the learner's daily experiences without requiring the learner to significantly deflect attention from his or her normal responsibilities or activities.

A method for scoring an answer page containing an answer to an open-ended question includes viewing a first visual image of a first portion of an answer page. The first portion contains an answer space in which an answer to an open-ended question is expected to reside. If the first portion of the answer page contains a complete answer, the answer is electronically scored. If the first portion of the answer page does not encompass a complete answer, a second visual image of a second portion of the answer page is accessed and viewed. The second portion contains a sector of the answer page outside the answer space. A method is also provided for delivering an answer page to a reader for scoring.

An electronic learning system includes a master repository which stores existing versions of learning objects, a local repository which stores alternate versions of the learning objects stored in the master repository, and a processor that executes instructions to display content that is based on at least some of the alternate versions of the learning objects and at least some of the existing versions of the learning objects. The processor detects a conflict associated with an alternate version of a learning object stored in the local repository, and resolves the conflict.

The invention relates to a system and method for delivering on-demand educational materials via distributed networks, such as the internet, wireless networks, etc. An end-user may login to the system, request training on a variety of subjects, receive on-demand multimedia training material, provide payment, be tested to ensure that they have understood the training material, and have a notification sent to an employer, government agency, or other entity that has mandated or requested that the end-user has received specified training. The system is particularly useful for ensuring compliance with mandatory training schemes, such as continuing legal education, where private entities may make training available to end-users, while a government entity must track the amount and nature of training received by large groups of individuals.
