| dc.description.abstract | This article discusses the development of Automated Essay Scoring (AES) in the Learning Management System (LMS). In Indonesia, e-learning mostly implements using LMS as the central facility for teaching and learning activities. LMS is used to facilitate in providing many exam questions for a student. One of it is essay question with short answer or explanation. The use of suitable technology can help teachers in assessing student answers in large number. Technology also can increase the level of accuracy in assessing student answers. Generally, at the end of the semester, school or university will assess student answer of essay questions. If there are many participants, teachers working load will increase. Usually, LMS does not have AES. Thus, the teacher not interest using essay question because still uses the traditional method to assess the student's answer to an essay question. This method takes much time, and this does not look accurate, mainly when meet so many questions with a large student. In this case, LMS needs AES facilities. Using AES for LMS technology will help the teacher in assessing participant answers. In this experiment, AES works by comparing the student and teacher answers using Levenshtein’s comparison. If LMS has AES facilities, the teacher can access many participants answer although there are many students. The research shows that AES scoring is not much different from the teacher assessment results. | en_US |
