Evaluate manuscripts or digital assignments fairly and easily

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present an online assessment system for tasks/papers and/or handwritten or digital exams. Initially teachers or students scan and load the work on the platform. The teachers then classify the work and distribute the results using the web-based platform. The system in question is optimized for three fundamental dimensions: speed, consistency and flexibility. The primary innovation that allows improvements in the three dimensions is a dynamic and efficient evolution for each question in the assessment. This system, which has been in existence for four years, used by professors from numerous institutions has led to an increase in the number of users confined due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Results are presented as data reported by users to the system as feedback on the time saved in carrying out the task of correcting/classifying. The use of this system also pleased the students, both in terms of carrying out assignments/evaluations, and in terms of disclosure of classifications. Teachers contacted in a system questionnaire indicated saving 30% or more compared to the traditional workflow. The authors also found the classification uniform to an individual response regardless of the number of teachers to be in charge of corrected.
