Hi Jim, > Is there any automated essay analysis that is part of LON-CAPA? Nope. > How about short answer grading? thanks --jim <stringesponse> is the best we can do here. There is a 'regexp' mode to <stringresponse> now so you should be able to describe the response you are looking for, if you are just doing a word or two. -- guy@albertelli.com LON-CAPA Developer 0-7-3-9-
