Abstract

One or more embodiments of techniques or systems for curriculum assessment are provided herein. One or more assessments can be generated. For example, an assessment can be generated based on one or more forms. In this way, assessments can be created in a structured manner and distributed accordingly. One or more of the assessments may be administered. After one or more students or test takers take the assessments, one or more of the assessments can be analyzed or aggregated. Analysis can include statistical analysis related to one or more similar, related, or associated assessments. In this manner, curriculum assessment can be provided, thereby enhancing teaching efficiency and productivity, etc.

Claims

1. A method for curriculum assessment, comprising:

receiving one or more assessment parameters, one or more of the assessment parameters indicative of a textbook, a chapter, or a curriculum;

selecting one or more formats for one or more questions of one or more assessments to be generated; and

generating one or more assessments based on one or more of the assessment parameters and one or more of the formats, wherein the receiving, the selecting, or the generating is implemented via a processing unit.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more of the questions of one or more of the assessments comprises standardized content.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more of the questions of one or more the assessments are multiple choice, short answer, essay, or true/false.

4. The method of claim 1, comprising storing one or more portions of one or more of the assessments.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more of the assessments comprise one or more registration marks.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more of the assessments comprise one or more identifiers.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein one or more of the identifiers is a quick response (QR) code or a bar code.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein one or more of the identifiers is indicative of one or more questions of one or more of the corresponding assessments.

9. The method of claim 1, comprising receiving one or more assessee responses associated with one or more assessees for one or more of the assessments.

10. The method of claim 9, comprising grading one or more of the assessee responses according to an answer key.

an assessment component configured to;

grade one or more portions of one or more of the assessments;

or

receive one or more scores for one or more other portions of one or more of the assessments; and

a reporting component configured to generate one or more reports of one or more of the assessments, wherein the creation component, the assessment component, or the reporting component is implemented via a processing unit.

12. The system of claim 11, comprising a network component configured to receive one or more assessee responses for one or more of the assessments.

17. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed via a processing unit on a computer performs acts, comprising:

receiving one or more assessment parameters, one or more of the assessment parameters indicative of a textbook, a chapter, or a curriculum;

selecting one or more formats for one or more questions of one or more assessments to be generated; and

generating one or more assessments based on one or more of the assessment parameters and one or more of the formats.

18. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein one or more of the assessments comprise one or more registration marks.

19. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein one or more of the assessments comprise one or more identifiers.
