Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a correction and grading system in which a corrector can carry out correction even without an actual answer sheet and the security of the individual information on trainee's can be secured and the response is quick. SOLUTION: A grading means 3 carries out grading by judging whether a marked answer is correct or incorrect and relates the result with the trainee's ID and re-stores in a storage means 7. A transmitting/receiving means (center side) 6 relates description answer image data to the trainee's ID and transmits it to the corrector. The corrector confirms the contents on receiving the description answer image data and generates correction image data and score data of each question using a correction means 9 and transmits back to the grading center together with the description answer image data. The grading center calculates the total score by adding the score data sent from the corrector and the re-stored score of the mark sheet and, at the same time, synthesizes correction image data.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a correction scoring system, and more particularly, to a correction scoring system using a network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional correction scoring system mails a text (teaching material) describing a problem to a student and an answer sheet, corrects and scores the returned answer sheet after filling in the answer. In this case, the answer sheet is often separated, for example, between a so-called “mark sheet method” and a “description method”. The reason is that, in the mark sheet method, high-speed and large-scale scoring can be performed by the OMR device for scoring, whereas in the description method, the method of expressing the answer to the question is often not unique, and furthermore, the handwriting of each student At present, it is difficult to process even the latest OCR due to the differences. Therefore, in the case of a written answer sheet, the person in charge viewed the answer sheet directly, corrected and graded it, and then returned it to the student.

[0003]

However, the above-described correction scoring system has the following problems. First of all, since the corrector must enter the contents of the correction directly into the answer sheet, the answer sheet must be brought in some form to the place where the corrector is located, and the corrector must input this. I had to send it back after correction. When the correctors are gathered in one place, there is a problem of transportation cost and allowance, and when the correctors do this at home, complicated processing such as return is required. Second, in many cases, personal information such as the name and gender of the student is entered in the answer sheet, and in the case of mail, private information such as the address may leak to the corrector. Third, the student had to wait for a period from when the submitted answer sheet was corrected and graded by the corrector until it was returned.
For example, if the place to be corrected is in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the answerer's residence is located in a rural area, mailing is often used, but in this case the corrected answer sheet will be quite long before returning to the student. It took a period of time. Moreover, it was not uncommon for this to be accompanied by national holidays, and that this period be extended.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a correction system in which a corrector can perform a correction operation even if there is no actual answer sheet. It is another object of the present invention to ensure the security of the student's personal information and to provide a quick correction and scoring system for responses.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-mentioned problems, a correction and scoring system using a network according to the present invention comprises a step of recognizing mark information as text data and character information as image data from written answer information. Extracting the answer text for the multiple-choice question from the text data, making a right / wrong judgment to create a scoring text, and temporarily storing the answer text in association with the answer text; Extracting an image and sending it to a corrector via a network, displaying an answer image to the written problem, creating a written corrected image and a weighted text, and transmitting the corrected image and the weighted text via the network. And returning the temporary storage Creating a multiple-choice question correction image based on the received answer text; calculating a total score from the temporarily stored scoring text and the returned scoring text to create a scoring image; The method further comprises combining the limb selection problem correction image, the description problem correction image, and the scoring image with a previously prepared answer sheet format image to output an overall correction image. Further, as another form of the correction and scoring system using the network of the present invention, the answerer sends the answer information as electronic data via the network, and the scorer also transmits the entire corrected image via the network. The electronic data is returned to the answerer.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the scoring center is a computer (center side) 1,
It comprises input means 2, scoring means 3, image synthesizing means 4, printing means 5, transmitting / receiving means (center side) 6, and storage means 7. The corrector is composed of a computer (correction side) 8, correction means 9, and transmission / reception means (correction side) 10, and the transmission / reception means are connected to each other by an existing communication line. Next, the processing contents of the student and the scoring center corrector will be described with reference to FIG. When the student mails the answer sheet requiring correction and scoring to the scoring center, the computer (center side) 1 causes the input means 2 to read the information written on the mailed answer sheet and stores it in the storage means 7. Store. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the data read from the answer sheet is a bar code 21 which is a bar code 21 in which an ID uniquely assigned to each student is converted into a bar code and which is printed, and a unique text for the text (test) taken. A test number barcode 22, which is assigned to
A mark data 23 written in a so-called mark sheet system for marking a correct answer from a plurality of options, personal information such as name and address, and personal information image data 24 and a written answer image data 25 written by hand for a written answer. It is. These are known data entry devices (OM
R, OCR, keyboard, image scanner, etc.). The scoring unit 3 judges whether or not the mark answer column is correct based on the mark data 23, performs scoring, and stores the score in the storage unit 7 in association with the student ID read from the student barcode. The transmitting / receiving means (center side) 6 includes the descriptive answer image data 25 and the student I
D and associate it with the corrector via the line.

When the correct answer image data 25 is received via the transmission / reception means (correction side) 10, the corrector displays it on the display of the computer (correction side) 8 to check the contents. After that, using the correction means 9, correction image data 26 and score data 27 for each question are created,
Create a file associated with the student ID together with the descriptive answer image data 25, and send / receive means (correction side)
10 is returned to the scoring center via the line. The scoring means 3 calculates the total score by combining the scoring data 27 sent from the corrector and the scoring of the mark sheet that has been re-stored earlier. In parallel with this, the image combining means 4
The personal information image data 24, the descriptive answer image data 25, and the corrected image data 2 correspond to the answer sheet format stored in the storage means 7 in advance.
6 is synthesized. In the printing means 5, the composite image data and the mark selected by the student in the mark answer column are correct if the answer is correct, the mark is black if the answer is incorrect,
A corrected answer sheet in which the information indicating the correct answer is shown in red and the total points are printed out by a printer or the like is created. Finally, the scoring center mails the printed corrected answer sheet to the student using personal information data. In the correction scoring system of the present invention, the example in which the exchange between the student and the scoring center is performed by mail is described as an embodiment, but in conjunction with the recent use of broadband, similarly to the case of the scoring center and the corrector, Alternatively, an electronic mail and an image file may be attached and transmitted directly via a line (FIG. 6). In this case, the input means on the scoring center side can be omitted. It goes without saying that the personal information image data for mailing back may be omitted.

[0008]

As described above, according to the correction scoring system of the present invention, since only the ID and the descriptive answer image data that are uniquely assigned to the student are sent from the scoring center to the corrector, Has the effect of eliminating the need to handle the actual answer sheet, greatly reducing labor. In addition, since the personal information of the student is not sent to the corrector, there is an effect that the possibility of occurrence of fraud and information leakage is reduced. In addition, the time from when the submitted answer sheet is corrected and graded by the corrector until it is returned is greatly reduced.
