An Add-On for Empowering Google Forms to be an Automatic Question Generator in Online Assessments (2110.15220v1)

Abstract: This research suggests an add-on to empower Google Forms to be an automatic machine for generating multiple-choice questions (MCQs) used in online assessments. In this paper, we elaborate an add-on design mainly comprising question-formulating software and data storage. The algorithm as an intellectual mechanism of this software can produce MCQs at an analytical level. In an experiment, we found the MCQs could assess levels of students' knowledge comparably with those generated by human experts. This add-on can be applied generally to formulate MCQs for any rational concepts. With no effort from an instructor at runtime, the add-on can transform a few data instances describing rational concepts to be variety sets of MCQs.
