A Strategy to Integrate Test Questions from Web Towards a Textbook

With the development of network technology, the amount of information on network has been exploded. How to effectively make use of the web information resource has been an important problem which need to be solved. Facing the problem, scholars have some works on web information integration. But these studies mainly pay attention to specific domain information integration, such as news field, movie field, music field, blog field, and so on. There are few studies on information collection towards educational field. In this paper we propose an education-oriented approach for integrating test questions towards a special course. The method is based on a textbook´s name and authors´ information, and integrate the textbook´s catalog and test questions automatically from Web, then computing the similarity between catalog of the textbook and test questions for classification, reaching to the purpose of building test question library by automatic method. Based on the method, we develop a prototype system. The precision and feasibility of the method have been verified by experiments.
