REMEMBERING

Source Documents (Corpus Design) In order to
improve the output from our MCQ Test Item
generator 1 I will apply the C.S.L.O. standard
to source documents. To design the C.S.L.O.
standard I have combined the benefits of the
general construction framework for a Specific
Learning Objective (S.L.O.) defined in the
Theory of Criterion Reference Instruction 2
with the relevant features from existing C.L.s
including AECMA Simplified English 3.

Specific Learning Objectives The components of a
Specific Learning Objective as defined in the

Controlled Language The principles from several
Controlled Language (C.L.) standards have
combined to form the C.S.L.O. definition. The
current C.L. Wikipedia article distinguishes
between two purposes of C.L.s Knowledge
representation and Human readability. C.S.L.O.s
have been defined to address both requirements
and so C.L.s from both sides of this divide have
contributed rules that are included in the
C.S.L.O. standard. These include AECMA Simplified
English 3

ANALYSING
How will C.S.L.O.s be used? C.S.L.O.s will first
be used to define the output of an algorithm for
pre-processing source documents before they are
operated upon by a Multiple Choice Question
