As a consequence, the demand for self-paced and adaptive learning resources hasreached unprecedented levels. Prior to the virus outbreak and consecutive lockdowns, universitieshad been using Moodle (and other SCORM1 compliant platforms) as a Learning ManagementSystem (LMS), which has helped make the transition from on-site to online learning. But teach-ers still have had to face the challenge of designing and implementing assessment activities inthe form of self-correcting activities (true/false, multiple answer questions, mark the words, fill inthe blanks questions, etc.), instead of plain printed quizzes and tests. This step has proved to be amajor hurdle since designing, and most of all, manually editing formative and evaluative assess-ment activities is a very labor-intensive task. In this article, we present a framework that buildsupon corpora and resources available from the LINDAT / CLARIAH-CZ Data & Tools platformin order to generate quizzes and other activities related to syntax, for the Moodle platform. Aftersome background on using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and electronic corpora for teach-ing syntax, we present our corpus-to-quiz processing chain, and we outline preliminary resultson deploying automatically generated French syntax quizzes in the classroom.Show less >
