In the EduWeb project, we seek to implement our vision of technology enhanced education of the 21st century. A vast amount of content is produced by many people every day, but despite their interconnection through the World Wide Web, their efforts are often isolated from each other.

Our aim is to:

• use Natural Language Processing (NLP) to analyze collaboratively constructed documents from the Web with respect to their usefulness for educational purposes;

• build tools that assist creators of educational content in coordinating their efforts and in sharing their materials with the community;

• explore new algorithms in NLP which bear great potential to simplify tedious, recurring task, like the creation of questions, exercises and tests;

• develop new approaches in Question Generation to enrich test authoring tools;

• build easily accessible, teacher-centered tools for collaboratively creating educational materials.

The project EduWeb is funded in the context of the Lichtenberg program for excellent researchers by the Volkswagen Foundation.
