More specifically, the question number and the position of the question sentence related to the question and the position of the answer column are standardized and stored. Note that the “arrangement method” shown in FIG. 4 is a specific example of whether the answer column is inserted in an in-line arrangement or character string wrapping when the answer column is inserted as an object in the word document. The insertion method is shown.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a document display screen. Below, the outline | summary of the process which an information processing system performs is demonstrated.
The creator terminal 1a executes predetermined document creation software and displays the screen shown in FIG. The document creation software is, for example, Microsoft Word software, but is not limited thereto. The creator terminal 1a opens a new document file and creates a test on the document shown in FIG.

  For example, when the “test creation” tab in FIG. 5 is designated, the creator terminal 1 a displays a menu bar at the top of the screen. Then, the creator terminal 1a displays a plurality of objects 51 on the menu bar. The object 51 is a command button for displaying an input screen 52 to be described later, and is an object indicating each type of answer column. For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the creator terminal 1a displays three types of objects 51 on the menu bar.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the input screen 52 for inputting question information. Here, consider a case where an operation is performed on the object 51 indicated as “free answer column” in FIG. In this case, the creator terminal 1a displays an input screen 52 shown in the center of FIG. The input screen 52 is a window screen displayed on the display unit 14 and is an input interface for receiving a setting input of question information regarding a question to be newly added. The input screen 52 includes a plurality of input fields for inputting various information.

  On the input screen 52, the creator terminal 1a accepts input of information necessary for scoring the answer entered in the answer field, such as the correct answer of the question and the scoring. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the creator terminal 1a may set a plurality of correct answers for one question. As will be described in detail later, when adding the answer column to the document, the creator terminal 1a stores information necessary for scoring in the document file in association with the answer column to be added. In other words, the creator terminal 1 a sets information such as correct answers and scoring used for answer matching in association with the answer column. When the learner terminal 1b receives an input of an answer to the answer column, the learner terminal 1b refers to each set information and scores.

  Further, the creator terminal 1a accepts input of information related to the question itself such as a question sentence related to the question (“question guide” in FIG. 6), a question number, and the like. As will be described later, when adding the answer column to the document, the creator terminal 1a not only adds the answer column but also adds a question. Thus, the creator can automatically insert a set of questions and answer fields simply by inputting necessary information on the input screen 52.

  Further, the creator terminal 1a accepts a setting input regarding the details of the answer field, such as a specific arrangement method of the answer field, a detailed input format of the answer field (answer method in FIG. 6), and the like. The creator terminal 1a adds the answer column in which the input format is set in detail to the document in the set arrangement.

  When accepting an input for setting a correct answer for a question, the creator terminal 1a accepts a setting for correct answer data corresponding to the input format in the answer column. For example, as described above, when the free answer field is selected as the answer field and “keyboard” is set as the detailed input format among them, the creator terminal 1a can score the answer entered by the keyboard as described later. Therefore, the setting input of the text data which shows the example of a correct answer is received (refer FIG. 6). As will be described later, when an answer is entered into the answer column by text using the keyboard, the learner terminal 1b determines whether the answer is correct by referring to the correct answer data (text data).

  As described above, the creator terminal 1a accepts input of question information necessary for adding a question to be newly added and an answer column of the question to the document on the input screen 52. When the creator terminal 1 a receives an operation input to the button indicated as “add” on the input screen 52, the creator terminal 1 a adds a new question and answer column to the document.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the process of adding the answer column 54. The creator terminal 1a adds an answer column 54 with details set on the input screen 52 to the document. Specifically, the creator terminal 1 a adds the answer column 54 and the question 53 corresponding to the answer column 54 to the document with the template arrangement defined by the arrangement table 122.

  7 conceptually shows the contents of the template defined in the arrangement table 122. As shown in FIG. 7, the arrangement table 122 is provided with a plurality of templates in which the arrangement of the question 53 and the answer column 54 is standardized. In the present embodiment, a plurality of patterns of templates are prepared in the arrangement table 122, but the template may be only one pattern. Each template defines a relative arrangement of the question 53 and the answer column 54. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, each template defines a position where the question 53 is arranged and a position where the answer column 54 is arranged for the question 53. The creator terminal 1a selects a template based on the type of the answer column 54, the arrangement method set on the input screen 52, and the like.

  The creator terminal 1a adds a question 53 and an answer column 54 to the document in an arrangement based on the selected template. That is, the creator terminal 1 a is selected by the question 53 in which the question number, the question sentence, etc. are set on the input screen 52 and the designation input to the object 51, and a more detailed input format (answer method) is set on the input screen 52. The answer column 54 is applied to the template and inserted into the document. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the creator terminal 1a arranges the question 53 including the question number and the question sentence in the left alignment, and arranges the answer column 54 in the right alignment. In addition, arrangement | positioning of the question 53 and the answer column 54 which are shown in FIG. 7 is an example, Comprising: This Embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the creator terminal 1a may arrange both the question 53 and the answer column 54 with left alignment. Further, the creator terminal 1a may add not only a question sentence as a question but also various information such as a figure and a table to the document.

  In the above example, since the object 51 indicating the “free answer field” in FIG. 5 is selected, the creator terminal 1a places the free answer field 541 in the document. The free answer column 541 is a blank for receiving input of a descriptive answer. The free answer column 541 accepts input of answers in a description format by character input using a keyboard, touch input using an electronic pen, or the like.

  The creator terminal 1a sets the question information necessary for scoring the answer in the document in association with the answer field 54 newly arranged. Specifically, the creator terminal 1 a embeds information including the correct answer and the score of the question in the document in association with the answer column 54. In addition, the creator terminal 1a inputs not only the correct answer and the scoring information but also information on the input format (type) of the answer column 54, the question number of the question 53 corresponding to the answer column 54, information on the question sentence, and the like on the input screen 52. Various question information is embedded. In the document file, information necessary for scoring is held in association with the answer column 54, so that the learner terminal 1b can perform automatic scoring of answers as will be described later.

  In particular, the creator terminal 1 a sets the correct answer data corresponding to the input format of the answer field 54 in the document in association with the answer field 54. For example, as described above, when the creator terminal 1a adds the free answer column 541 in the description format by keyboard input to the document, the text data is converted into the document as correct answer data so that the answer input by the keyboard can be scored. Set.

  FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the addition process of the answer column 54 in the option format. For the sake of brevity, FIG. 8 is illustrated in a simplified manner as compared with FIG. When the operation input to the object 51 indicated by the “option field” in FIG. 5 is received, the creator terminal 1a displays the input screen 52 shown on the left in FIG. The input screen 52 is a window screen including various input fields as in FIG. 6, but the input content is different from the input screen 52 shown in FIG. For example, on the input screen 52 shown in FIG. 8, settings are received for detailed input formats in the answer column 54, such as the type of option (either selection or multiple selection), the number of options, and the like. In addition, in the input screen 52 shown in FIG. 8, corresponding to the above input format (option type, number of options, etc.), an option number setting input is accepted as correct answer data. As described above, the creator terminal 1a displays the input screen 52 different from that in FIG. 6 and receives the setting input in order to receive the input of the question information necessary for creating the question 53 and the answer column 54 in the option format.

  When the input of the question information is completed on the input screen 52, the creator terminal 1a adds a new question 53 and an answer column 54 to the document as shown on the right side of FIG. Here, the creator terminal 1 a adds a selection answer field 542 for accepting selection from a plurality of options as the answer field 54. For example, the creator terminal 1a adds a selection answer column 542 in which answer options including check boxes are arranged in the column direction of the document. As will be described later, the learner selects and inputs an answer by operating each check box in the selection answer field 542.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the process of adding the answer column 54 in the auxiliary input format. When the designation input to the object 51 indicated by “panel answer column” in FIG. 5 is received, the creator terminal 1a displays an input screen 52 shown on the left in FIG. The input screen 52 is an auxiliary selection for accepting selection for the type of the auxiliary button 551 as a setting item for defining a detailed input format of the answer field 54 in addition to the input fields such as the question number, the score, the question contents, and the correct answer. Column 521 is included. As will be described in detail later, the auxiliary button 551 is an input button included in the panel (auxiliary input form) 55 displayed on the screen to assist the input of the answer at the time of answering. This is a dedicated input button prepared to assist the input of an answer that is difficult to input (see FIG. 11). When the selection is accepted in the auxiliary selection field 521, the creator terminal 1a displays the contents of the input button displayed on the panel 55 as a preview in the “input assistance” item of the input screen 52. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 9, when “volume liter” is selected in the auxiliary selection field 521, the creator terminal 1 a displays “L”, “dL”, “mL” auxiliary buttons 551, and “0” to “0” to “0”. A general numeric keypad input button indicated by “9” is displayed. As will be described later, when accepting an input of an answer to the answer column 54, the creator terminal 1a displays a panel 55 including each button, and accepts an answer input based on an operation input to the panel 55.

  As described above, the creator terminal 1 a accepts a setting input for the contents of the input buttons displayed on the panel 55 on the input screen 52. Specifically, as described above, the creator terminal 1 a accepts a selection setting for the dedicated auxiliary button 551 displayed on the panel 55. After completing the input on the input screen 52, the creator terminal 1a adds a new question 53 and an answer column 54 to the document as shown on the right side of FIG. For example, the creator terminal 1a arranges a question 53 including a question number and a question sentence and a panel answer column 543 indicated by a rectangular frame based on the template. The creator terminal 1 a sets the question information including the setting contents regarding the panel 55 in association with the added panel answer column 543. As described above, the learner terminal 1 b displays the panel 55 when the answer is input to the panel answer field 543, and accepts the input of the answer via the panel 55.

  As described above, the creator terminal 1 a selects the answer column 54 in accordance with the designation of the object 51, and generates a new question 53 and an answer column 54 based on the question information input on the input screen 52. The creator terminal 1a applies the generated question 53 and answer column 54 to the template and adds them to the document. Further, the creator terminal 1 a sets question information including information necessary for scoring the answer in the document file in association with the answer column 54. The creator terminal 1a repeats a series of processes, and sequentially adds a question 53 indicated by the question information and an answer column 54 in which the question information is set to the document. As a result, the creator terminal 1 a creates a document file related to the digital test in which the questions 53 and the answer column 54 are listed.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a test screen. The creator terminal 1 a transmits the created document file to each learner terminal 1 b via the network N. The learner terminal 1b refers to the received document file and displays the test screen shown in FIG. The test screen is a display screen that displays a document including the question 53 and the answer column 54. The learner terminal 1b displays a document at the center of the test screen. The learner terminal 1b refers to the question information set in each answer field 54 so that the learner can identify the type of each answer field 54, and “freehand” indicating the type of each answer field 54. , “Option”, “keyboard”, “panel answer column”, etc. are also displayed.

  The learner terminal 1b accepts answer inputs to the answer fields 54. For example, in the case where an answer input to the free answer column 541 is accepted for the question with the description of “keyboard” or “freehand” in FIG. 10, the learner terminal 1 b inputs characters using the keyboard or touches using the electronic pen. Accepts answers by input. When accepting an input of an answer to the selected answer field 542 for the question with the description of “option” in FIG. 10, the learner terminal 1 b performs an operation input to the check box indicated by the selected answer field 542. Accept answer selection input.

  FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the panel answer column 543. When accepting an input of an answer to the panel answer field 543 for the question with the description of the “panel answer field” in FIG. 10, the learner terminal 1b displays the panel (auxiliary input form) 55 shown in the lower part in FIG. indicate. The panel 55 is an input interface for assisting input of answers. The panel 55 includes a dedicated auxiliary button 551 for assisting input in accordance with the answer contents, in addition to a general input button such as a numeric keypad.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, when the question is a mathematical problem related to a fraction, the input of the fraction must use a function such as a mathematical expression editor, and the input of the answer may be difficult. Therefore, in this embodiment, a panel answer column 543 is prepared to assist in inputting a special answer. Specifically, the learner terminal 1 b displays on the panel 55 a dedicated auxiliary button 551 that assists in inputting the answer. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the learner terminal 1 b displays auxiliary buttons 551 such as “to”, “minute”, and “too much”. As described above, the content of the auxiliary button 551 is set at the time of creating a question in the creator terminal 1a. The learner inputs an answer by operating each input button included in the panel 55 while also using the auxiliary button 551. Thereby, even if the answer is difficult to input only with a keyboard or the like, the learner can easily input the answer.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a test screen after scoring. When an operation input to the end button 56 shown in the upper right of the test screens of FIGS. 10 and 11 is accepted, the learner terminal 1b scores the input answer. Specifically, the learner terminal 1b collates the answers input in each answer column 54 with correct answer data set in association with each answer column 54, and determines whether the answer is correct or incorrect. Further, the learner terminal 1b refers to the score set in association with each answer column 54, and scores based on the correctness of each answer. The learner terminal 1b displays the scoring results on the test screen as shown in FIG.

  For example, the learner terminal 1b displays a mark 57 indicating the correctness / incorrectness of each answer in a Marubat format by superimposing it on each answer field 54. Note that when the answer is input freehand (description with an electronic pen), the learner terminal 1b cannot determine whether the answer is correct or not, and therefore suspends scoring. In this case, the learner's terminal 1b displays a mark 57 indicating that the scoring is suspended by a triangle.

  In addition, the learner terminal 1b displays scoring results such as the number of questions, the number of correct answers, the number of holds, the number of wrong answers, and the scored points at the bottom of the test screen. In addition, when the learner terminal 1b receives an operation input to the correct answer display button 58 shown at the upper left of the test screen, the learner terminal 1b displays the correct answer, a score, and the like of each question on the right side of the test screen.

  For example, the learner terminal 1b returns a document in which an answer is input to the creator terminal 1a after the test. The creator terminal 1a collects a document from each learner terminal 1b. For example, the creator terminal 1a takes a document collected from each learner terminal 1b into an Excel (registered trademark) file, and totals and manages information such as answers and scoring results of each learner. Since question information (question number, etc.) is set for each answer field of the document, the creator terminal 1a can extract the answer input in each answer field, the scoring result of each answer, and the like. From the above, not only each learner can take a digital test, but also the test results of each learner can be managed collectively.

  In the above, the creator terminal 1a sets not only the correct answer of the question but also various question information such as a score, the content of the question, the question number, etc. for each answer column 54, but at least the correct answer data of the question is answered. It may be set in the column 54. By storing correct answer data corresponding to the input format of each answer field 54 in the document file, the learner terminal 1b can determine whether the answer is correct, that is, match the answers.

  In the above description, three types of the answer column 54, that is, the free answer column 542, the selected answer column 542, and the panel answer column 543 are illustrated. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and the answer column 54 is Other input formats may be used.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure executed by the creator terminal 1a. Based on FIG. 13, processing contents executed by the creator terminal 1 a will be described.
The control unit 11 of the creator terminal 1a executes predetermined document creation software and displays a document (step S11). The document creation software is, for example, Microsoft Word software, but is not limited thereto. When displaying a document, the control unit 11 displays a plurality of objects 51, 51, 51 on a menu bar. The object 51 is a command button for displaying the input screen 52, and is an object for selecting the answer column 54.

  Based on the designation input to the object 51, the control unit 11 accepts a selection input for selecting one from a plurality of types of answer columns having different answer input formats (step S12). The answer column is an input column for inputting an answer to the question, and object data of a plurality of types of answer columns that differ depending on the input format of the answer is stored in the answer column DB 121. The control unit 11 displays an input screen 52 having different input contents according to the selected answer field (step S13). The input screen 52 is a window screen displayed on the display unit 14 and is an input interface for inputting information regarding questions. As described above, the contents of the input screen 52 differ depending on the type of the answer column 54, and the question information input column corresponding to the input format of each answer column 54 is displayed.

  On the input screen 52, the control unit 11 receives a setting input of question information including a more detailed input format of the answer column selected in step S12 and correct answer data of the question corresponding to the input format (step S14). . Question information includes information such as correct answers and scoring required for scoring answers, question contents required for setting questions, information such as question numbers, information such as answer methods and placement methods required for detailed settings in the answer column, etc. Includes various information related to questions. For example, when the free answer column 541 is selected in step S12, the control unit 11 displays, on the input screen 12, the correct answer of the question, the score, the question number, the question sentence, the arrangement method of the free answer column 541, and the like, as well as the free answer column 541. Inputs are accepted for detailed input formats (answering methods such as keyboard input and freehand input). When the selected answer field 542 is selected, the control unit 11 determines the correct answer, scoring, question number, question sentence, placement method, etc., as well as the detailed input format (selection type, number of options, etc.) of the selected answer field 541. ) Is accepted. When the panel answer field 543 is selected, the control unit 11 inputs setting for the detailed input format (type of auxiliary button 551) of the panel 55 in addition to the correct answer, scoring, question number, question sentence, arrangement method, and the like. Accept.

  As described above, the control unit 11 accepts the setting of a more detailed input format (answer method) for the input format of the answer column 54 selected in step S12. Further, the control unit 11 accepts a setting input of correct answer data corresponding to the input format corresponding to the input format set in detail. For example, when keyboard input is set as a detailed input format for the free answer column 541, the control unit 11 accepts text data setting input indicating a correct answer example. Further, for example, in the case of the selection answer field 542, when the alternative selection is set as a detailed input format, the control unit 11 receives a setting input of one option number that is a correct answer value. Further, for example, when any kind of prepared panel 55 is set as an input form in the panel answer field 543, the control unit 11 performs setting input of correct value data that can be input on the panel 55. Accept.

  The control unit 11 refers to the template that defines the arrangement of the question and answer fields, and adds the new question indicated by the question information input in step S14 and the answer field selected in step S12 to the document (step S15). The template is a template in which the relative arrangement positions of the question and answer fields are standardized, and data relating to a plurality of patterns of templates is stored in the arrangement table 122. The control unit 11 selects a template based on the type of the answer column 54, the arrangement method of the answer column 54 set on the input screen 52, and the like. The control unit 11 adds an answer column 54 in which an answer can be input in the input format set in detail on the input screen 52 to the document according to the selected template. The control unit 11 adds not only the answer column 54 but also the question 53 set in detail on the input screen 52 to the document.

  The control unit 11 sets question information including at least correct answer data of the question in the document in association with the added answer column (step S16). Specifically, the control unit 11 associates with the answer column 54, correct answer data according to the input format of the answer column 54, question score, question number, question sentence, and type of the answer column 54 (input format). Are stored in a document file.

  The control unit 11 determines whether a predetermined end operation for closing the document file has been received (step S17). When it determines with not having received completion | finish operation (S17: NO), the control part 11 returns a process to step S12. The control unit 11 repeats the processes of steps S12 to S16, and sequentially adds new questions and an answer column 54 in which correct answers and scoring points are set to the document. Thereby, the control unit 11 creates a digital test. When it determines with having received completion | finish operation (S17: YES), the control part 11 complete | finishes a series of processes.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure executed by the learner terminal 1b. Based on FIG. 14, the processing content which the learner terminal 1b performs is demonstrated. It is assumed that the learner terminal 1b has already acquired the document file related to the digital test from the creator terminal 1a.
The control unit 11 of the learner terminal 1b opens the document file acquired from the creator terminal 1a, and displays a document (test screen) including each question 53 and the answer column 54 (step S31). The control part 11 receives the input of the answer to the answer column 54 (step S32). As described above, the input method for each question differs depending on the type of the answer column 54. When the answer column 54 is the free answer column 541, the control unit 11 accepts input of a descriptive answer by character input using a keyboard, touch input using an electronic pen, or the like. When the answer column 54 is the selection column 542, the control unit 11 accepts an answer input by a selection input in each item column. When the answer column 54 is the panel answer column 543, the control unit 11 displays a panel (auxiliary input form) 55 including an auxiliary button 551 that assists the input of the answer, and accepts the input of the answer via the panel 55.

  The control unit 11 determines whether or not to score the answer input in the answer column 54 according to the presence / absence of an operation input to the end button 56 displayed on the test screen (step S33). When it determines with not scoring (S33: NO), the control part 11 returns a process to step S32. When it is determined that scoring is to be performed (S33: YES), the control unit 11 refers to the question information set in association with each answer column 54, and determines whether the answer is correct (step S34). That is, the control unit 11 collates the answer input in the answer field 54 with the correct answer set for the answer field 54. Further, the control unit 11 refers to the score set in each answer column 54 and scores according to the correctness of each answer (step S35). The control unit 11 displays the scoring result on the test screen (step S36). Specifically, the control unit 11 superimposes and displays a mark 57 indicating whether each question is correct on the answer column 54. The control unit 11 also displays the number of correct answers, the number of incorrect answers, the number of test points, the model answer (correct answer), the score, and the like on the test screen. The control unit 11 ends the series of processes.

  In the above, assuming that the actual embodiment is assumed, the creator terminal 1a creates a test, and the learner terminal 1b performs a test (input of answers, scoring, etc.). The classification is for convenience of explanation, and the present embodiment is not limited to this. That is, the information processing apparatus 1 that creates a test and the information processing apparatus 1 that performs a test may be the same apparatus. Each of the information processing apparatuses 1, 1, 1... Can execute a program P and perform a series of processes from test creation to answer scoring. Thus, the classification of each device is for convenience, and this embodiment can be implemented in one device.

  In addition, although the creator terminal 1a adds both the question 53 and the answer column 54 to the document at the same time, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the creator terminal 1a may add only the answer column 54 based on the template. Thus, for example, by adding an answer column 54 to a test (document) created by a teacher using word software before introducing this system, a digital test can be created using an existing file. In other words, in the present embodiment, the creator terminal 1a only needs to be able to add the stylized answer column 54 to the document, and the process of adding the question 53 need not be performed.

  In addition, the creator terminal 1a receives an input of specific question contents via the input screen 52 and adds the input question to the document. However, the present embodiment is limited to this. It is not a thing. For example, the creator terminal 1a may store a plurality of question cases (question information) in a database, read the question cases from the database, apply them to the template, and add them to the document. Further, for example, the database may be stored in an external storage device, and the creator terminal 1a may access the external device at the time of document creation to acquire a question case and add it to the document. As described above, the creator terminal 1a only needs to be able to acquire the question information, and the input of the question information in the creator terminal 1a is not essential.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to easily create a digital test by adding the answer column 54 to the document. Since the answer column 54 is arranged according to the template, the answer column 54 is added at an appropriate position. In addition, since information including the correct answer of the question is set in the document in association with the answer column 54, it is easy to score the answer. Therefore, it is possible to support the creation of an electronic test.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the digital test can be created more easily by adding the question 53 together with the answer column 54 to the document.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, correct answer data corresponding to the input format of the answer field 54 is set in the document. Thereby, scoring can be performed with reference to appropriate correct answer data corresponding to each input format such as keyboard input, freehand input, alternative selection, multiple selection, and the like.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to automatically score the answers input in the answer column 54.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to easily select the answer column 54 by the designated input to the object 51 and call the input screen 52. Moreover, the answer column 54 can be easily added by simply inputting necessary question information on the input screen 52.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, a free answer can be described by the free answer column 541.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, it is possible to create an option-type question by using the selection field 542.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the panel answer column 543 can easily input an answer that is difficult to input by general keyboard input, touch input, or the like.

(Embodiment 2)
In this embodiment, not only automatic scoring of answers, but also a mode of performing self-scoring by manual input will be described. In addition, about the content which overlaps with Embodiment 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.
FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a test screen according to the second embodiment. FIG. 15 corresponds to FIG. 12 in the first embodiment and shows a test screen after scoring. As in the first embodiment, when the learner terminal 1b receives an operation input to the end button 56, the learner terminal 1b refers to the correct answer and the scoring set in association with each answer column 54 and performs automatic scoring. The learner terminal 1b displays the scoring result with a mark 57 or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the learner terminal 1b not only performs automatic scoring of answers, but also accepts self-scoring of answers by the learner. Specifically, the learner terminal 1b changes a scoring result based on the operation input by receiving a predetermined operation input for each answer column 54. For example, the learner terminal 1 b accepts an operation input such as a click input or a touch input for the answer column 54.

  For example, the learner terminal 1 b changes the answer correctness according to the number of operation inputs to the answer column 54. Specifically, the learner terminal 1b changes the answer correctness according to the number of clicks or the number of touches on the mark 57 superimposed on the answer column 54. For example, let us consider a case where, on the test screen shown in FIG. 12, scoring is suspended because an answer is input freehand, and an operation is input to the free answer field 541 on which a triangular mark 57 is superimposed. When the operation input is received once for the mark 57, the learner terminal 1b switches the result relating to the correctness of the answer to “wrong answer”. In this case, the learner terminal 1b changes the mark 57 indicating the scoring result to a cross. When the learner terminal 1b receives an operation input for the mark 57 once more, the learner terminal 1b switches the scoring result to “correct answer” and changes the mark 57 to a mark. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 15, the scoring result in the freehand answer column 541 is switched to the correct scoring result. When the operation input is further accepted once, the learner terminal 1b returns to the original scoring result (triangular mark 57). The learner terminal 1b changes information such as the number of correct answers, the number of incorrect answers, and the score shown in the lower part of the test screen in conjunction with the above-described processing content. In this way, the learner terminal 1b changes the correctness of the answer based on the operation input to the answer column 54.

  As described in the first embodiment, when an answer is described freehand with an electronic pen in the free answer column 541, the learner terminal 1b cannot automatically grade the answer. However, in the present embodiment, the learner terminal 1b can accept self-scoring by manual input to the free answer column 541. Accordingly, the learner can perform self-scoring for answers that are not automatically scored with reference to the correct answers displayed on the right side of the test screen.

  In the above description, the scoring operation for the freehand free answer column 541 has been described. However, it is needless to say that the scoring operation may be accepted for the other answer columns 54 and the scoring result may be changed.

  In the above description, the learner terminal 1b accepts an input of manual scoring after completion of automatic scoring. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the processing related to automatic scoring may be an option, and manual scoring operation input may be accepted for the answers related to all the answer columns 54. That is, the learner terminal 1b only needs to be able to determine whether the answer is correct based on an operation input to the answer column 54.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure executed by the learner terminal 1b according to the second embodiment. After executing the process of displaying the scoring result on the test screen (step S36), the control unit 11 of the learner terminal 1b executes the following process.
The control unit 11 receives a predetermined operation input for the answer column 54 (step S201). The operation is, for example, a click operation or a touch operation on the mark 57 displayed in the answer column 54. Based on the operation input received in step S201, the control unit 11 changes the scoring result of the answer input in the answer field 54 and displays it on the test screen (step S202). Specifically, the control unit 11 switches the determination result relating to the correctness of the answer to one of the correct answer, the incorrect answer, or the hold depending on the number of operations on the mark 57 superimposed on the answer column 54. The control unit 11 displays the changed scoring result on the test screen. Specifically, the control unit 11 displays a mark 57 corresponding to the changed scoring result in the answer column 54 and changes and displays the scoring results such as the number of correct answers, the number of incorrect answers, and the number of points. The control unit 11 ends the series of processes.

  As described above, according to the second embodiment, not only automatic answer scoring but also self-scoring can be performed.
