Neural network based intelligent analysis of learners´ response for an e-Learning environment

This paper presents a novel neural network based scheme for intelligent analysis of learners´ response for an e-Learning environment. The scheme applies to typed-in single-word textual response from the learners´ end. The proposed system is intelligently adaptive to inadvertent mistakes committed by the learner while responding to the system´s queries. Two-layered feed-forward neural net is employed to build the analyzer. Experimental results, carried out on a wide variety of sample responses show that the proposed scheme successfully simulates a human instructor communicating with the learner through single-word typed-in text.
