Abstract

Assessment is the fulcrum of any instructing and learning framework. In e-learning, online evaluation is a significant instrument for assessment of the learner that measures knowledge, skill and attitude. Most of the automated evaluation is normally performed using Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) containing answers and distractors. Be that as it may, MCQ fails to test the comprehensive level of a learner. Nor they can verify the application of knowledge in real-life situation. To measure the comprehensive ability of the learner, responses based on simple sentences or paragraph(s) required to be consequently evaluated utilizing the online tools and strategies. This research proposal employs automated assessment of paragraph(s) using N-gram tuples that eliminates the dependency on pre-defined keywords. In-order to achieve the required level of performance, the proposed system may require multiple iterations.
