Abstract
The Web 2.0 principles reflect into learning domain and provide means for interactivity and collaboration. Student activities during learning in this environment can be utilized to gather data usable for learning corpora enrichment. It is now a research issue to examine, to what extent the student crowd is reliable in delivering useful artifacts and to bring in suitable tools to enable this. In this paper we present a method for crowd-based validation of question-answer learning objects involving interactive exercise for learners. The method utilizes students’ correctness estimations of answers provided by other students during learning. We show that aggregate student crowd estimations are to big extent comparable to teacher’s evaluations of provided answers.
