4 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Our approach towards automatic computer scoring of open ended responses show promising potential for reasons of its reliability and robustness. Future plans include making use of additional NLP algorithms such as inference and pronoun resolution, as well as inclusion of additional task types such as summarization, outline, and gap-fill tasks. We should also like to bring the scoring online and provide the student with instantaneous feedback. Pilot testing within the campus is scheduled for Winter and Spring 2003 quarters, with full campus rollout in Fall 2003.</Paragraph>
