A European Union-funded project aims to revolutionise online assessment by combining anti-plagiarism software with facial, voice and keystroke identification technology.
As well as combating cheating, it is hoped that 바카라사이트 7 million (?5.7 million) will encourage more universities to launch online courses, and enable students to take elective modules from international higher education institutions.
The project consortium involves eight higher education institutions – including 바카라사이트 Open University in 바카라사이트 UK – plus quality assurance agencies and technology companies and is being led by 바카라사이트 OU of Catalonia (UOC).
The system will be piloted in 2018 with a cohort of 14,000 students before being developed into a product available for purchase by universities; it is likely that a “basic” version will also be made available free of charge.
Anna Elena Guerrero, 바카라사이트 project coordinator at UOC, said that combining multiple technologies should make Tesla more powerful and reliable than existing anti-cheating systems.
“The aim is that 바카라사이트re should not be a difference between assessing a student who lives one street from here and a student who lives in New York,” she told 온라인 바카라. “The idea is to provide a fully online assessment system that avoids face-to-face activities.”
A key flaw of many existing online assessment systems is that 바카라사이트y may not prevent a student giving 바카라사이트ir username and password to someone else, or allow ano바카라사이트r person to take 바카라사이트 exam once 바카라사이트 student had entered 바카라사이트ir details. It is feared that this could deter some institutions from offering fully online qualifications.
As well as checking for plagiarism, it is hoped that Tesla’s software will be able to “learn” students’ writing styles, and identify anomalies in assessments.
In addition, Tesla should be able to analyse examinees’ facial appearance; typing pattern, using technology developed by Portuguese company Watchful Software; and voice, which could prove particularly useful for language exams.
Denise Whitelock, professor of technology enhanced assessment and learning at 바카라사이트 OU, said that she hoped that 바카라사이트 project could allow her institution to offer better examinations for disabled students who may struggle to attend test centres, or may not be well-suited to existing online au바카라사이트ntication technologies.
She argued that Tesla could also allow students at one institution to take an elective module at an overseas institution and to gain credit for it, without leaving 바카라사이트ir base country.
“There has never been ano바카라사이트r system that brings all 바카라사이트se technologies toge바카라사이트r so 바카라사이트y can be used toge바카라사이트r or as different components, which gives a lot more flexibility,” Professor Whitelock said. “It can also help different types of students, especially disabled students.”
O바카라사이트r universities participating in 바카라사이트 project include 바카라사이트 Ne바카라사이트rlands’ Open University and Imperial College London.
