This paper examines how intelligent grading of Web-based examinations can be achieved using a Case-Based framework. Multiple-choice and essay questions are common examination formats widely used by the academic community. A survey of about 2,000 University faculty, conducted in the fall of 2001, revealed that preferences are evenly split between the two formats. In this paper we propose the Multiple-Choice with Free Text justifications (MCFT) format. The goal is, on one hand, to combine the benefits of multiple-choice and essay questions and, on the other hand, to allow for computer-aided grading based on a mechanism similar to Case-Based Reasoning. The specific properties of Case-Based Grading (CBG), namely case representation, retrieval, reuse, revision, and learning, are examined. Finally, a two-phase CBG algorithm is proposed.
Keywords: case-based reasoning, MCFT format, online examinations, partial credit, intelligent exam grading
