Question Paper Generator in PHP

Abstract:

In any educational course curriculum, the courses are defined with learning objectives. Teachers conduct assessments to know if students have achieved certain learning objectives or not. Teachers generate variety of question papers as per the universities’ assessment requirements. It is very challenging for the teachers to make question papers with varied questions and which meet learning objectives of the course. There are no standardized methods to ensure quality of question paper. Hence there arises a need to have a system which will automatically generate the question paper from teacher entered specification within few seconds. Researchers recommend different sets of tags such as cognitive level, difficulty level, type of question, content /topic for defining a question etc. The existing tools are rigid and support very basic or limited tags. The proposed system will automatically generate a question paper from semantically tagged question repository. This system offers flexibility by supporting all four tags and allows entry of every property in the form of ranges i.e. lower bound and upper bound. The question paper is generated in xml format and as Microsoft Word document .
