A framework for automated generation of examination questions from web based semantically treated search results

Published:16 June 2011Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper discusses a programming framework for automated generation of questions from on-line help resources. It also generates advices and hints to find the correct answer. It is based on XML/XSLT-processing using results from the author's previous paper [2]. An example of its usage is discussed for MySQL examination preparation.
