Automatic Grading of Object-Dragging Quizzes ID: 2013-041

A revolutionary system that automates the grading of interactive quizzes, saving time for instructors and enhancing learning for students through immediate feedback.

Technology Overview

This invention from Brigham Young University introduces a novel software architecture designed to automate the grading process of object-dragging quizzes. Unlike traditional multiple-choice or text-based systems, this technology allows students to answer quizzes by dragging and dropping graphical objects on a screen. The system not only grades these responses automatically but also provides immediate, corrective feedback to students, leveraging machine learning to improve grading accuracy and feedback relevance over time.

Key Advantages

• Automates the grading process, significantly reducing the workload for instructors, especially in large classes
• Enhances student learning by providing immediate, corrective feedback
• Offers a more natural and interactive testing experience through object manipulation
• Leverages machine learning to continuously improve grading accuracy and feedback quality
• Includes a challenge system for students to contest grades, fostering deeper engagement and understanding

Problems Addressed

• Time-consuming grading processes for instructors
• Lack of immediate feedback for students in traditional testing formats
• Limited interaction and engagement in conventional online quizzes
• Difficulty in accurately grading complex, interactive responses with traditional systems

Market Applications

• K-12 education for a wide range of subjects requiring interactive testing
• Higher education settings, particularly in courses with large class sizes
• Corporate training programs seeking to enhance learning through interactive assessment
• Online learning platforms looking to integrate more engaging and effective testing mechanisms
