Abstract

Although content creators, instructors, and students alike see the value in providing interactive courseware to help students learn, they remain a costly solution to create. Platforms that allow the creation and delivery of interactive courseware are only fully utilized by those who can afford the labor cost of building hundreds of formative items just to start. Most of the time this means barriers are too high in either financial cost or extremely long development timelines. Our solution is called SmartStart, a process that works to reduce these barriers to creating courseware by automating basic steps that otherwise require significant manual labor. Automatic question generation (AQG) is one in a series of steps in the SmartStart process that work together to transform textbook content into a courseware learning environment.
自动问题生成和SmartStart应用程序
尽管内容创建者、教师和学生都看到了提供交互式课件来帮助学生学习的价值,但它们仍然是一个昂贵的解决方案。只有那些能够负担得起构建数百个形成性项目的人工成本的人才能充分利用那些允许创建和交付交互式课件的平台。大多数情况下,这意味着财务成本太高或开发时间太长。我们的解决方案被称为SmartStart,这是一个通过自动化基本步骤来减少这些障碍的过程,否则需要大量的手工劳动。自动问题生成(AQG)是SmartStart过程中一系列步骤中的一个,这些步骤共同将教科书内容转换为课件学习环境。
