Knowledge representation and assessment using concept based learning

The process of learning can be improved with proper and timely feedback. This paper proposes a system that provides feedback for both teacher and student using concept-based learning. Various types of concepts are defined, and assessment is done for each concept. The level of knowledge acquired by students can be clearly represented using this approach. The feedback provided is goal-oriented, active, personalized, timely, ongoing and consistent, which counts for the novelty of this approach. Results from this study show that concept-based assessment and feedback motivates the students and helps them improve their examination score.
