A method and system for on-line resolving is described that dynamically provides resolvers with rules for evaluating answers to particular types of data items. Rules are stored which relate to procedures for evaluating the data items. When data items are displayed to a resolver for evaluating, the corresponding rules are displayed for evaluating the displayed data item.

Dynamic on-line scoring guide and method

A method for increasing the speed at which data items are processed. The method receives electronic representation of data items and organizes the data items into separate groupings. The method next displays a particular grouping of data items to a resolver so that the resolver can evaluate the data items. In displaying the data items, the method uses a matrix of cells and displays one data item in each of the cells. The resolver can thus simultaneously view multiple data items, which facilitates efficient evaluations of the data items.

System for providing feedback to evaluators

A method and system for processing groupings of data items. Data items are received in electronic form, after which the data items are divided according to predefined categories and organized into separate groupings. The data items in the groupings are reported.

Categorized data item reporting system and method

A method and system for managing evaluators of data items to maintain consistent and efficient scoring of data items. Collaborative scoring allows two evaluators to score the same data item and resolves potential discrepancies in the scores provided by the evaluators. Quality items monitor a evaluator's scoring performance against a known standard. A quality-control data item, having a known score, is transmitted to a evaluator. After receiving a score from the evaluator, the known score is compared with the evaluator's score and a quality profile is generated for the evaluator.

Multiple data item scoring system and method

A system for managing resolvers of test answers to maintain consistent and efficient test scoring for the answers. The system monitors test resolver performance in order to provide feedback. By tracking a resolver's scoring rate to compile performance data, the system monitors efficiency and optionally recommends break times and provides the resolver with diversionary activities during breaks

System for providing feedback to test resolvers

A method and system for managing resolvers of test answers to maintain consistent and efficient scoring of test answers. Collaborative scoring allows two test resolvers to score the same test answer and resolves potential discrepancies in the scores provided by the resolvers. Quality items monitor a test resolver's scoring performance against a known standard. A quality-control test item, having a known score, is transmitted to a test resolver. After receiving a score from the resolver, the known score is compared with the resolver's score and a quality profile is generated for the resolver.

A method and system for managing resolvers of test answers to maintain consistent and efficient scoring of test answers. The method and system routes test answers to resolvers based on classifications of resolvers and persons who generated the rest answers. Monitoring and selecting resolvers based on classifications promotes fair and consistent scoring of test answers.

Method and system for preventing bias in test answer scoring

A method and system for increasing the speed at which test answers are processed. The method and system receives electronic representations of test answers and organizes the test answers into separate groupings. Next a particular grouping of test answers are displayed to a test resolver so that the resolver can score the test answers. In displaying the answers, the method and system uses a matrix of cells and displays one test answer in each of the cells. The test resolver can thus simultaneously view multiple test answers, which facilitates efficient scoring of the answers.

Multiple test item scoring system and method

A method and system for reporting groupings of answers to test questions. Answers to test questions are received in electronic form, after which the answers are divided according to predefined categories and organized into separate groupings. The answers in the groupings are reported.

Categorized test reporting system and method

A method and system for on-line scoring is described that dynamically provides resolvers with rules for scoring answers to particular questions. Rules are stored which relate to procedures for scoring the test questions. When test questions and answers are displayed to a test resolver for scoring, the corresponding rules are displayed for scoring the displayed answer.
