Claim 19:
20. A computer-implemented system comprising: a digital processing device comprising: at least one processor, an operating system configured to perform executable instructions, a memory, and a computer program including instructions executable by the digital processing device to create a non-dichotomous answer processing application for e-learning, the application comprising:
a) a prompt module, displaying a non-dichotomous generative assessment item comprising a series of two or more answer choices;
b) a recording module, receiving a student answer to each answer choice in the series, wherein each student answer comprises an answer selection or an answer non-selection;
c) a storage module, storing the received student answer to each answer choice in the series in a binary format, wherein any answer selection is stored as a first binary number and any answer non-selection is stored as a second binary number; and
d) a concatenation module, concatenating every binarily stored student answer in the series to form a concatenated answer in a binary format providing a computationally efficient, unambiguous representation of every binarily stored student answer, wherein the concatenated answer does not comprise a delimiter.
