2. The content management system for generating electronic templates and using the electronic templates to extract response data from assessment content objects as recited in claim 1 , further comprising: a file transformation engine that processes the content-object data so as to change a file type, coordinate system, zoom, alignment or skew of the content-object data from the content object wherein the parsing engine extracts the portion of the content-object data using the processed content-object data.
1. A content management system for generating electronic templates and using the electronic templates to extract response data from assessment from content objects, the content management system comprising: One or more processors coupled to a memory; a file receiver that: receives an electronic structure file that corresponds to an assessment and includes structure-file data, the structure-file data including a region of interest where a response to a question on the assessment is to be provided; and detects a content object for processing that includes content-object data; a rendering engine that renders an image of the structure-file data or processed version of the structure-file data, the rendered image representing the region of interest; an interface engine that detects a first input provided during a presentation of the rendered image corresponding to specification of a position of the region of interest; and detects a second input identifying a target data element corresponding to the question; a parsing engine that, using the one or more processors: defines a segment-position specification indicative of the position of the region of interest; and extracts, using the segment position specification of an electronic template, a portion of the content-object data that corresponds to the region of interest, the portion of the content-object data including a response to the question on the assessment; a template engine that generates the electronic template, the electronic template associating an identifier of the question with the segment-position specification; a record classifier that determines that the content object for processing corresponds to the electronic template; and a response classifier that: evaluates the portion of the content-object data to identify the response to the question included in portion of the content-object data; determines an evaluation quality metric reflecting a confidence in the identification of the response; and determines whether a quality criterion is satisfied based on the evaluation quality metric; wherein the interface engine further, when it is determined that the quality criterion is not satisfied: facilitates a presentation that includes the portion of the content-object data; and receives a third input corresponding to an identification of a score corresponding to the response.
