Abstract

DOM-Sortze is a framework for the semiautomatic generation of Domain Modules from textbooks. It identifies not only topics and relationships between topics but also Learning Objects (e.g., definitions, examples, problem-statements) included in an electronic document. ArikIturri is a NLP-based system designed to automatically generate test-based exercises from corpora. To enrich the Learning Object Repository of DOM-Sortze with new test-based exercises, both systems have been integrated. The experiment conducted to verify the validity of the proposal is described throughout the paper.
