PROBLEM STATEMENT

With the sudden lockdowns due to the Coronavirus pandemic, students faced a new challenge of attending classes from home and at this moment it was necessary that classrooms should reach to them.

But at that time neither the teachers nor students were fully prepared to adapt to this mode of education. But even now when we are gradually adapting to this mode, there are still some issues which leads to its ineffectiveness.

One of the major issues being Conducting Online Tests. Both teachers and students have their own area of concern. Teachers on one hand wants to make it more authentic and free of malpractices. Students, on the other hand face issues like missing the deadline due to network failure and more than one test being scheduled at the same time.

PROPOSED SOLUTION

There are many meeting apps which are currently being used by educational institutes for conducting online classes and tests. But being a meeting app, they are not able to effectively conduct the tests.

So we decided to come up with an All-In-One Test App providing a safe and convenient way to conduct and attempt quizzes, vivas and assignments. Some of the salient features of our app are::

  • Safe and Anti-Cheat framework to curb malpractices during online tests.
  • Auto-submission of selected answers in case of timeout or network failure.
  • Attempted quizzes can be reviewed for learning and revision.
  • Private rooms with video call feature for viva and query sessions.
  • Clash-avoidance of tests occurring at the same time.

Video Call with Agora SDK

Integrated this awesome SDK using its Flutter plugin for facilitating video calls during viva. Upto 7 people can participate at a time.

Speech-to-Text during Quiz Creation for Faculty

We as students know how tedious it is to give the quiz ;)

and even more tedious is its creation.

So to give our faculty members a major relief we integrated the Speech-to-Text functionality for filling data fields during quiz creation. It would help them avoid the repetitive and tedious job of typing out all the questions and options.

FUTURE PLANS

  1. Integrating Web Scraping: To make our app more robust against any malpractices we would implement web scraping to explore the availability of answers on online platforms and report the same to faculty.

  • Integrating ML: We are also looking forward to implement ML to perform data analysis on data like response time, attempt percentage, correct percentage, etc. It would help faculty members to assess the correct difficulty level and students to know their weaker and stronger academic areas.

  • Integrating Speechly: Since at present Speechly integration for Flutter framework is not available we are looking to forward to implement it in our app whenever available.
