4. What is AutoTutor? AutoTutor is a web-based software that
has been designed to easily create (language) learning activities
including intelligent automatic feedback without the need of being
a programmer to allow for a progressive fine-tuning and
customization of feedback messages, reducing the hours devoted by
teachers to repetitive easily predictable (language) errors
MoodleMoot Madrid 09, Octubre 2009
5. What does feedback mean? Feedback means to: inform whether
the answer is correct or not if it were incorrect: where is the
error found? (or where can the text be improved?) whats the reason
that makes this an error? how could you manage to repair it?
offering instructions to find a solution (book page, a fragment in
a text or audio file, etc.) offering a correction proposal (like in
Words spell checker) and being sure that the feedback message is
appropriate MoodleMoot Madrid 09, Octubre 2009

11. What does AutoTutor consist of? AutoTutor consists of three
distinctive pieces of software: A moodle extension that allows
integrating teaching activities in with an access to NLP processing
software. A web-based graphical interface for teachers to author
language learning activities. A combination of algorithms that
allow for the automatic creation of NLP resources given a specific
exercise. MoodleMoot Madrid 09, Octubre 2009
12. AutoTutors moodle extension (I) Fully integrated as a
moodle activity MoodleMoot Madrid 09, Octubre 2009

evaluation and correction specifications (simplified, not trivial
though). MoodleMoot Madrid 09, Octubre 2009
17. AutoTutors GUI for activity creation (II) AutoTutor
provides with a graphical interface to: Create AutoTutor pages that
will be used to connect to automatic correction tools from moodle
Define the specifications of how that exercise is to be corrected
(which are the correct answers, and which are very common errors
that deserve specific attention/feedback) Allow for the generation
of all the resources required for intelligent automatic
correction/tutoring (without being a programmer!) MoodleMoot Madrid

18. AutoTutors generator of computational resources Automatic
Correction tools General spell and grammar checking feedback
(pre-existing) Exercise specific feedback defined within the system

20. System-defined content-checking feedback (I) Blocks are
missing Some crucial part of the solution is missing. Please check!
Hagia Sophia is famous []. (for what?) Blocks are in the wrong

together linguistically or in terms of contents. MoodleMoot Madrid

21. System-defined content-checking feedback (II) Words that
are not part of any foreseen block This part of the solution does
not correspond to any part of the possible solutions stored by the
system. Please check! Hagia Sophia is famous for its massive dome
in Istanbul.* (* The question was formulated in a way that made it
unnecessary) Something is wrong This part of the solution contains
some or all of the relevant keywords but something is missing or
too much or some word form is wrong. Please check! MoodleMoot
