A Fuzzy-Based Approach to E-learning Evaluation
Keywords:
Student Evaluation, Fuzzy Sets, BL-algebra, Linguistic Variables.Abstract
In this paper a fuzzy-based methodology is illustrated, able to implement educational taxonomies and returning a rich linguistic evaluation. This approach is suitable for not structured answer scripts and uses a BL-algebra-based calculus.
