AI-driven student assessment solution for colleges

In a bid to help educational institutions keep the learning systems moving, online testing firm HireMee has unveiled artificial intelligence (AI)-based mid-term student assessments solutions like organising an online test live without any cheating possibilities for colleges.

 Although colleges have adopted digital tools for online learning, the key challenge now is how to administer assessments and tests, and ascertain the learning outcomes.

 HireMee provides a Cloud-based digital platform for employability enhancement for students and conducts assessments that employers can use, the company said in a statement.

 The company said that to date, it has completed nearly a quarter million AI-proctored attempts, with a rejection of around 5 per cent attempts in the past 18 months in over 3,000 colleges in the country.

 The AI/ML system is trained to process and compare images of the examinee taken during the test with candidate information provided and flag discrepancies to prevent impersonation.

 “Face detection and recognition algorithms work in sync. The system captures any movement of the candidate eyes or ears and highlights such instances with corresponding images. Similarly, it can identify presence of other individuals nearby and ascertain if any external help is being sought by a candidate,” the company informed.

 The system also locks down the application on which the assessment is being taken, thus restricting the navigation of candidates away from the assessment.

 Several colleges have already tested these capabilities and are in the process of rolling out their mid-term assessments through the platform. IANS
