| "text": "The two main research areas in educational applications, automated evaluation of students freeresponses and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), have developed fairly autonomously within the NLP community. We made progress toward bridging this gap in the First Workshop on Building Educational Applications Using NLP in 2003, where researchers in a wide variety of educational applications met in Edmonton to share their work and ideas -both in the speech-and text-based communities. Papers dealt with automated evaluation of essay-length texts and classification of brief responses that students enter into a tutoring system. Other research that was reported included exploring the value of using grammar checking within a tutoring system, comparing speech-and text-based tutoring systems, and automatically generating multiple-choice questions.", | |

| "text": "There continues to be a significant and fast-growing body of research toward developing educational applications that incorporate NLP. This has become apparent as, since the First Workshop in 2003, subsequent workshops have been held by scientists working in this field (InSTIL/ICALL 2004 Symposium on Computer Assisted Learning and the eLearning International Workshop, COLING 2004).", | |

| "text": "The themes in the 2005 workshop fall into four broad categories. Several papers explore the automated assessment of written text -a field that is fast becoming mainstream. These papers describe methods to score essay-length responses, evaluate content-based short answer responses, and identify plagiarized material. Other papers look at methods for generating assessment questions automatically. A third major focus is in teaching language skills -both speech and text-based. Finally, two papers evaluate tools that NLP software developers can use to build educational applications.", | |

Our goal is to continue to expose the NLP research community to these technologies with the hope that they may see novel opportunities for use of their tools in educational applications.", | |
