assignment with spelling check

Dear community, 

Our team aspires to create an activity that corrects students' spelling and let's them retake an exercise with similar questions based on their errors. I.e.: Questions from a category that the student has made errors in.

I have found the auto-grade question type made by Gordon Bateson but that does not show the grammar mistakes I have made.

It would be great if we could let Moodle check students' spelling and to let them retake similar exercises to improve their mistakes.

Do you have any idea?


Kind regards,


Menno

Hi Menno,

That's quite a challenge to take up! The way you describe this use case, suggests relying heavily on state-of-the-art natural language processing and machine learning, both of which aren't technologies currently part of Moodle.

That doesn't mean it can't be done with Moodle, because there are ways to use Quiz with immediate feedback at answer and question level and restrict access based on the quiz grade to offer additional exercises. This does, however, involve quite an investment in time and resources, as all of this has to be manually set up.

But that's just my 2 euro cents...
