Challenges

The client wanted a custom solution for creating online and offline assessments for students. Not only creating assessments but also an app was needed for scanning and uploading the answer sheets by the students for evaluation and providing the results in a shorter period. An automated proctoring system along with several kinds of assessments was required by the client in a single package.

Solution

Mobile applications are always handy to use and hence Csharptek developed a mobile application known as Education Proctoring for the client that provided both online and offline assessments and reduces the grading time to more than half for the educators. The mobile app development helped to provide already created exams, create new exams, list several questions, and so on. The students are required to submit their assessments either online or offline by scanning the answer sheets according to their student IDs or anonymously, educators can then evaluate the assessments from anywhere and anytime, and finally provide results to the students along with some feedback.

Technologies Used

• Allowed students to submit the answers online or offline as per their needs and scanning the answer sheets for evaluation.

• Evaluated results in a short time by using Azure cognitive services and Google Recognition for Image and Handwriting recognition.

App Development

Csharptek developed an app for fulfilling the client’s requirements known as Education Proctoring which could conduct online and offline assessments in a proctored way. The .Net MVC 5 architecture was used for Google Recognizer and Microsoft cognitive services. It enabled the creation of multiple views of a model and supported the development of an SEO-friendly app. Education Proctoring platform provides easy to use interface for grading and analyzing assessments digitally. It has its own set of question banks for numerous subjects based on different levels, skills, or standards. These questions include Multiple Choice Questions, Fill in the blanks, Ordering Matching Pairs, True or False, and even essays. The institute can easily create and manage test items according to their requirements, align content according to their standards, utilize multiple learning measures, create application interoperability, and enable deep content search. The app development is a combination of Data, Content, and Metadata

Evaluating the Scanned Answer Sheets

Csharptek has enabled support for both online and offline assessments for the students. A unique ID is assigned to each student taking the test which eases the evaluation of results. In the case of offline assessments, we have provided the facility to upload scanned answer sheets to the app. The answer sheets are then stored in the Azure cloud where various Azure cognitive services act upon them for Image and Handwriting recognition. Azure along with Google recognizer helps in detecting the scanned images and evaluate the grades for the assessments by recognizing the identity of the student through names and IDs.

Scanning the answer sheet digitally was a problem before but, our developers solved the problem and made the app development easy to handle. Now scanning the answer sheet was no longer time taking for the students and the schools incorporating the app.

Educators can evaluate assessments from anywhere and anytime. While evaluating the educators can also provide rich feedbacks to the students per question. With the Education Proctoring app development, students can see the results in just one click on their mobile phones and can also provide feedback to the teachers. Various analytics features are also a part of the Education Proctoring app development such as providing data visualization of student’s performance which can be used by educators to analyze the student’s performance on each question or whole assessment. Finally, the educators can share the results annotated with observations and feedbacks with parents or mentors along with the student. These visuals are created through Microsoft Azure cognitive services bringing AI into the role.
