Topic
assessmentQ (https://assessmentq.com/) is a digital exam platform developed and maintained by Televic Education. 250+ customers are using assessmentQ for organizing online and digital (practice) exams.
In the assessmentQ platform authors can create up to 20+ different types of questions ranging from very basic multiple-choice or fill-in-the-gap questions to more complex questions like recording questions or canvas (=free-draw) questions...
The majority of the question types we support have built-in automatic scoring functionality. Authors love to use automatic scored exercises since it eliminates the need for grading after the exam.
A multiple-choice question doesn't need grading after the students have finished a test. A recording exercise does. That is what we want to change.
The goal of this project is to implement an automatic scoring mechanism in assessmentQ for the recording exercise. This means:
- Extracting a transcript of what has been said in a recorded audio or video fragment by the student.
- Detecting certain keywords (or synonyms of keywords) in that recording that will be the basis for applying an automatic score for the recording.
- Applying an automatic score to the recording of the student in question.
