Automated Evaluation Framework for Student Learning using Concept Maps

The paper develops the concept map-based framework for Student learning evaluation. The main attention is devoted to automatically calculate the student understanding about the particular topic using concept maps where concept maps are a visual representation of understanding of any topic. We use Markov chains technique to calculate the score of student understanding and also use XML parsing technique to compare and evaluate the concept maps. The feedback generated by this framework gives the score of student understanding about the topic and is given to the teacher and student so that it will be useful to validate the knowledge and grasping the power of students. The final result will be in terms of interactive UI rather than simple graphs.
