Assessment of learner's understanding: an experimental result

Assessing leaner’s answers is very time consuming for educators and limits them to be involved in other activities. In many cases, exam papers comprise of questions that require learners to write at least one or two sentences toe express their understanding. However, there are not many computer-bas...
