Inspiration
Talent is the world’s most valuable resource. During this critical time where educational institutions are unable to evaluate there students in a fair way, Professionals are concerned about enhancing their careers as test centers struggle with safety measures and seat availability which thereby affects personal & organization's growth. Our team saw this as a real problem which if not addressed today will have a long-term impact in the growth and prosperity of individual professionals and organizations. Our team has come up with an application "The Supervisor" to address this problem using Pega.
What it does
The application will manage and monitor the entire assessment in real time, screens candidate, reports and disqualifies candidates carrying out malpractice thereby preventing possible candidate malpractice and ensuring exam is carried out in a fair way. This application will allow may students and professionals to take up examinations and assessments safely & easily from their homes so that they make their career progression even in this unprecedented situation .
How we built it
"The Supervisor" application is built leveraging Pega and Amazon Rekognition
Challenges we ran into
One of the challenges that we encountered were to decide the approach for image recognition, We tried using python for this which didn't yield accurate results and then with a Microsoft service and finally decided to go ahead with "Amazon Rekognition". Getting to screen candidates at real time is one more challenge that we faced.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team takes the pride of providing students, professionals and organisations a way to continue their career progression and employees development programs in this critical time.
What we learned:
Social learning: --Through our initial research we found the various pain points of students, professionals and test centers and made efforts to solve their problem Tech learning: --Learnt about various facial recognition services exposed by various organizations like Amazon and Microsoft
What's next for The Supervisor
The way educational Institutions operate will dramatically change Post Covid-19 and there is a high likely chance most of them will go through a digital transformation journey. This Examination & Certification Monitoring Application can be adopted in large by educational institutions and test centers thereby enabling users to take assessments remotely and also ensuring assessments are conducted in a fair way. A seamless experience for the users for end users indeed! There is also a scope to extend this application for identity verification of candidates, marking attendance and as a way to provide access to various other secured applications. Using this application will drastically reduce the operating cost as now we don't need a physical space or an invigilator for assessments.
