Adaptive Automatic Assessment for Engineering Education and Training.

“这是一个电气工程的博士研究项目。传统的总结性和形成性评估方法严重依赖于人为干预，不容易扩大规模，以满足大规模参与的在线教育和培训的需求，例如大规模在线开放课程（MOOCs）。该项目旨在开发和展示利用机器学习最新进展的自适应软件工具自动处理此类评估的重要部分的方法。使用ARM开发工具的嵌入式系统设计和编程将作为演示区，以ARM最新的教育和专业培训计划作为测试工具。由此产生的工具将通过大规模的全球现场试验进行测试。如果成功，这项工作将扩展到其他教育领域。”

"This is a PhD research project in Electrical Engineering.Conventional summative and formative assessment methods, relying heavily on human intervention, do not scale up readily to the needs of mass-participation online education and training in, for example massive open online courses (MOOCs). This project seeks to develop and demonstrate ways in which significant parts of such assessment can be handled automatically by adaptive software tools that harness the most recent advances in machine learning. Embedded systems design and programming, using ARM development tools, will be used as a demonstrator area with ARM's latest educational and professional training programs as test vehicles. The resulting tools will be tested through large worldwide field trials. If successful, the work will be expanded to other areas of education."
