Abstract

Techniques for generating an assessment question about content of an educational course include obtaining, by processing circuitry of a computer, an electronic document of content of the course and generating a parsable text version of the electronic document. Importance scores for sentences of the parsable text version of the electronic document are generated and a sentence having an importance score that exceeds a first threshold value is identified. A key phrase in the identified sentence is identified, where the identified key phrase has a key phrase score that exceeds a second threshold value, and an assessment question about the content of the course related to the identified sentence is generated, where the assessment question is based on the identified sentence but where the identified key phrase is not present in the assessment question.
