April 2021: The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the education sector globally. Classes have been suspended to enforce social distancing and educational institutions, from schools to universities, have shifted to online methods of teaching and evaluation. Still, there is no certainty about when normalcy will be restored.
Online learning has been on the rise in recent years. In fact it has become a necessity with many places still under extended lock downs. As education undergoes a tremendous transformation with emerging technologies enabling digital learning, a natural progression may be to explore the potential of a segment that has not found large scale adoption in Universities — online exams with AI based proctoring.
Boards and Universities can now adopt this solution for conducting their exams. Thus, instead of postponing or canceling or conducting them physically with massive health risks to students they can conduct them online with remote proctoring. The AI-based invigilation powered by AWS ensures that the students do not cheat or indulge in unfair means during the assessment.
The successful conduction of India’s largest AI Proctored Online Semester Examination for MAKAUT [Formerly West Bengal University of Technology, Kolkata] by Learning Spiral has clearly established that the time for change is now!
The total tests conducted were 6,00,000+. With total student photos subjected to AI analysis more than 10,00,00,000, the total number of papers generated more than 2000+ from more than 150000+ questions it was a large exercise. The daily maximum number of exams conducted was 120000+ and a team of 200+ virtual Invigilators & 200+ online technical support staff were deployed to ensure more than 99% student attendance in this drive.
Learning Spiral provides end-to-end AI enabled examination & assessment solutions for Higher Education institutes like universities, boards & colleges.
Commenting on this Mr. Manish Mohta, Managing Director- Learning Spiral said, “We have arrived at an era where the adoption of online learning and the implementation of AI enabled examinations and assessments is the only way forward. With AI tackling the challenges in the offline examination model, especially in these times, this is sure to be a game changer. AI-proctored exams are a great way to ensure that the lockdown doesn’t mar the aspirations of students and that the academic calendar is adhered to. It beats “average marking” or physical exams as a solution hands down!
