Claim:
A computer readable storage medium which stores a fill-in-the-blank test question generation program operable to drive a computer to execute: a pointing information extraction step of extracting pointing information indicating a pointing position and a pointing time on a slide from slide information used in a lecture and a video image of the lecture using a pointing device; a word information generation step of analyzing text information extracted from the slide information to generate word information indicating a word and a position thereof; a word pointing information generation step of estimating a word closest to the pointing position on the slide to generate word pointing information with the pointing time assigned; a fill-in-the-blank word extraction step of extracting a word having a pointing time equal to or longer than a predetermined time from the word pointing information as a fill-in-the-blank word; and a test question generation step of setting the fill-in-the-blank word of the slide information as a blank region to generate a fill-in-the-blank test question, wherein the test question generation step extracts a fill-in-the-blank word satisfying predetermined constraint conditions from the fill-in-the-blank word information to generate a fill-in-the-blank test question, wherein the test question generation step selects fill-in-the-blank characters by setting the constraint conditions as at least one of: being equal to or smaller than the number of fill-in-the-blank words set per line; not being adjacent to a preceding fill-in-the-blank word; and being equal to or smaller than the number of fill-in-the-blank words set per slide page.
