People:


Description:

One goal of information systems for education is to improve learning. The QuesGen project approaches this goal by seeking to improve the competence of instructors at developing and using multiple-choice questions. QuesGen is a web-based tool that instructors can use to develop high-quality multiple choice questions that will allow them to diagnose misunderstandings in their students and come up with timely strategies to address them.
