Online Tests Based on Contributions Provided by Teachers and Students during Face to Face Lectures

Abstract

Our previous work has introduced the "Tsaap-Notes" platform to increase the motivation and engagement of students in the process of collaborative note taking during lectures. In this paper, we introduce the approach "Notes as Feedback" which consists of recycling interactive questions asked during a lecture in order to semi-automatically build computer based self-assessment tests where feedback provided to students is based on the notes taken by students. A first experimentation on a group of 54 students enrolled in a computer science Master course helped to highlight the benefits of this work: increased participation in note-taking, a massive engagement of students to play the self-assessment tests, and improved student results at the final exam.
