Abstract

This paper presents the idea of exam script analysis and the design to provide it as well as the support for examiners to mark exams written using pen and paper devices. It also describes partial implementation going on. Pen and paper devices capture the traces of pen movement (called digital ink), allowing the answers to be reorganized independent from paper format, analyzed and marked semi-automatically under the examiner's supervision. Furthermore, digital ink carries time stamp for each stroke so that we can use this information to analyze the question answering process of the examinees such as revisions in the answer given for a question, the time taken in answering a question and so on. This information also allows us to consider the appropriateness of the exam design and improve it.
