Abstract :
The research team has leveraged the research conducted in recent Natural Language Processing studies and designed a computerized marking mechanism for marking students´ short-answers based on the semantic meaning of those answers. An open access Auto marking web service has been developed to provide short-answer marking service for everyone. Auto marking service is also a self-sustainable complete online exam system which schools and teachers can use it to create their own item bank and tests, to manual and to auto mark students´ answer sheets, and to review the results from various perspectives such as test, item, and individual student.
