A new research paper proposes a hybrid e-assessment system for higher education that combines paper-based exams with semi-automated grading. This approach aims to overcome the limitations of fully digital assessments by retaining problem-oriented tasks while encoding student answers in a structured format for machine processing. The paper highlights the challenge of accurately recognizing handwritten characters and suggests that recent vision-capable large language models, along with a two-pass validation and solution key comparison, can improve the validity and scalability of summative assessments. AI
IMPACT This hybrid approach could enhance the efficiency and fairness of grading in educational institutions by leveraging LLMs for handwritten text recognition.
