DeduceIt: A Tool for Representing and Evaluating Student Derivations
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Almost all automated online grading systems today are currently limited to multiple-choice problems or fill-in-the-blank answers. DeduceIt is a system directed at university-level math and engineering education that aims to allow students to enter substantial formal derivations which are then automatically checked. Current theorem-proving technologies are generally intended to support one expert in writing a potentially long and complex derivation; online education, however, requires a system that can be used without expertise in a field, and that can be effectively used by tens of thousands of students attempting to do the same exercise in many different ways. While DeduceIt borrows heavily from existing theorem-providing techniques, the special constraints of online education lead to unique challenges and a substantially different overall design.
