Claim 12:
13. A computer-implemented method for an e-learning non-dichotomous answer processing, the method comprising:
a) displaying, by the computer, a non-dichotomous generative assessment item comprising a series of two or more answer choices;
b) receiving, by the computer, a student answer to each answer choice in the series, wherein each student answer comprises an answer selection or an answer non-selection;
c) storing, by the computer, 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) concatenating, by the computer, 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.
