TOWARDS FORMATIVE E-ASSESSMENT IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT THROUGH PERSONALIZED AUTOMATED FEEDBACK

Formative e-assessment is a complex process, in which learners can build their knowledge, fill up their knowledge gaps or increase their learning abilities. The feedback mechanism is considered to be highly important for the formative dimension of e-assessment. Current paper proposes a model for automated feedback in a project management e-assessment environment: the model blends a built-in feedback sheet (a document containing the correct answers) with a recommender engine, which searches the web for references related to the incorrectly answered questions. The feedback model is personalized, because the web search is made taking into account the user profile: the list of concepts which weren’t correctly understood. This list of concepts is mapped on project management domain ontology.e-assessment, project management, automated feedback, ontology, knowledge system

Proposal for encoding the Meitei Mayek script in the BMP of the UCS

This is the penultimate proposal to encode the Meetei Mayek script (also spelled Meitei Mayek) in the international character encoding standard Unicode. The main, modern repertoire was published in Unicode Standard version 5.2 in October 2009. A set of characters to represent historical orthographies was published later, in Unicode 6.1 in January 2012. This proposal included both the modern repertoire and the set of historical characters. However, later proposals split the repertoire into two documents: for the modern characters, an

The Measure of Man and Older Age Mortality: Evidence from the Gould Sample

This paper documents differences in body size between white, black, and Indian mid-nineteenth century American men and investigates the socioeconomic and demographic determinants of frame size using a unique data set of Civil War soldiers. It finds that over time men have grown taller and heavier and have relatively less abdominal fat. Abdominal fat in young adulthood was an excellent predictor of older age mortality from ischemic heart disease or stroke. Changes in frame size explain roughly three-fifths of the mortality decline among white men between 1915 and 1988 and predict even sharper declines in older age mortality between 1988 and 2022.
