Abstract

This paper describes a language technology based system for providing computer-aided design of test items. Plain text instructional materials are being processed with various tools for POS tagging, constituency parsing and term extraction and lexical and syntactic information is being collected. The system compiles a list of terms which are central for the instructional materials, creates drafts of fill-in-the-blank questions and suggests possible distractors. The experiment is carried out on textbooks in geography, biology and history of Bulgarian high-schools.
