A Formative Assessment Ontology for Students' Lab Reports in Lab Book

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a formative assessment ontology, called Onto Note F, that enables teachers to add a formal semantics to formative feedback annotations they put on students' lab reports in Lab Book system. It is linked to a learning domain ontology enabling teachers to give formative feedbacks to students on expected lab work tasks. Onto Note F is developed following a rigorous methodology, from teachers' requirements to the ontology implementation in Memo Note annotation tool. Its implementation in Memo Note permits to provide new features that can help teachers to annotate students' lab report easily and to identify common errors.
