Systems, Methods, and Software for Enabling Automated, Interactive Assessment

This invention describes a system where students create their own test questions. The system automatically figures out how good each question is by seeing if it helps tell apart students who know the material from those who don't. Students are then encouraged to make and answer these high-quality questions, building a useful bank of learning material. The claims focus on displaying prompts for assessment items to "untrusted individuals" and receiving items from "trusted individuals" with predefined correct and incorrect responses.
