An evaluation system

摘要

An evaluation system for detecting an anomalous response to a particular question from a plurality of questions is described. The evaluation system includes a first input for receiving a signal denoting that a question has been delivered to the trainee and a second input for receiving a signal denoting that the trainee has submitted a response to the question. A timer coupled between the first and second inputs determines the time elapsed between the trainee receiving the question and submitting a response to the question. The trainee is required to submit a confidence level in his response and the evaluation system includes a confidence level receiver for receiving a signal relating to the trainee's confidence level in his response. For each of the plurality of questions data relating to a score, confidence level and the elapsed time are stored. An anomaly processor processes the score, confidence level and elapsed time data for a set of questions taken from the plurality of questions. An output indicating whether or not an anomalous response to a particular question is detected is produced. The evaluation system is particularly suited for use in a computerised training system where a trainee's responses to a set of questions must be assessed to determine whether or not the trainee passes the assessment.
