Video contest remote answering online assessment
nationwide to open the test "cloud era"
The desk at home becomes the “desk” for the exam, the smart phone turns into an electronic “test paper”, and the teacher passes the video “supervision” ... With the help of science and technology, schools and educational training institutions in many places in China sum up the experience of “cloud teaching” for various exams Build a "cloud test room" to allow candidates to compete in the "cloud" field.
With the help of science and technology, candidates can take the exam online
More than 800 high school seniors from Jianghan Oilfield Education Group, Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, recently opened the exam in the "cloud". In order to keep students focused on the exam, parents arrange the exam room in advance to create a quiet atmosphere for the children. Candidates are full of rituals, uniformly dressed in school uniforms to answer questions in accordance with the normal examination arrangements.
"The test papers are sent and received online, and the teachers remotely supervise the exams at the school." Liu Qian, deputy dean of Jianghan Oilfield Education Group School of Education said that through the test platform built by "Middle School", students can make answer choices and judgments in the terminal APP When waiting for objective questions, subjective questions need to be answered on paper. After the exam is over, enter the background of the system by taking a photo scan.
After the completion of the "answer", how to ensure objective and efficient examination and post-test analysis has become a new problem. Meng Fanjun, a senior high school teacher at Guanghua Middle School in Jianghan Oilfield, said that in the previous online monthly exam, the marking teacher had to number nearly 6,000 test paper photos to achieve "blind reading", and also manually input the results of each question into the system for analysis and data. The amount is huge and error-prone.
With the help of "One Middle School Together", candidates' scores and information are automatically linked, and objective questions are also corrected by the system. Teachers only need to check the subjective questions and write comments next to the wrong questions so that students can clearly understand the reasons for the wrong questions. After the examination, the school can upload the data to the platform for statistics, analysis and make a test report, so as to realize the interconnection of teaching, examination and evaluation data.
"The technological power behind this 'cloud exam' not only allowed teachers to reduce their burden and increase efficiency, but data analysis also showed the true level and weakness of each student." Liu Qian felt very much about the effect of this "cloud exam" Satisfied, in her view, the teaching model relying solely on one's own strength can no longer adapt to the current educational environment. The future education direction must be a good interaction of "person + technology".
Video art test, recorded as key
Hundreds of art colleges in China have recorded videos online to conduct a preliminary “cloud screening” for some professional candidates who are applying for the exam, which is ushering in new challenges for the art candidates who are preparing for the school.
"On-site ability and performance tension are difficult to show through the 'cloud screening', and the video will also weaken the stunning feeling of the work." Xiao Du, an art candidate from Chengdu, is preparing to apply to the Wuhan Conservatory of Music. Compared with live performance, he believes that online recording The way of video puts higher requirements on the candidate's ability to express, sound penetration and posture, because "video can be played back, the lens will magnify the defect."
For art candidates, the choice of equipment and venue is also "a big way." In the past, art test students' school tests were live performances, and the venues and equipment they faced were the same, but this year they had to shoot videos themselves, and they also had to prepare accompaniment, speakers, and radio equipment. In the context of "cloud screening", the art test requires not only the professional skills of the students, but also the video shooting technology and lens sense, so the video shooting angle, scene changes, light and dark, clothing matching, etc. are all important .
In a recording studio in Fuzhou, Xiao Liao, a candidate coming from afar, is practicing the preliminary work in front of the camera. "My home is full of miscellaneous things, and I can't find a suitable background wall. Parents still don't have video operations." Faced with the important threshold of "video recording", Xiao Liao chose to record the test works in the recording studio to avoid affecting the test results due to technical reasons .
"We are in accordance with the requirements of the school, debugging suitable lighting for candidates, etc., as much as possible to make the performance video original." Mr. Lin, the operator of the recording studio, said.
Take multiple measures to ensure fair test
As the "cloud exam" continues to gain popularity, how to ensure the fairness of the exam has become the focus of all parties. The person in charge of the admissions office of a university admitted that online examinations made it more difficult for schools to deal with violations. How to identify the cheating and fraud of individual candidates by submitting materials online is a common problem faced by art schools.
Facing the challenges brought about by the new forms, major universities have recruited one after another to ensure that the “cloud screening” of the art test can be conducted fairly and objectively. It is understood that many art colleges this year allow art candidates to download the "Little Arts Gang" APP. Candidates need certification information during the first registration, face recognition before online video exams, and there is only one opportunity to shoot and upload. During the video shooting process, candidates should not move the mobile phone's location or leave the frame of the picture; they must not beautify and modify the portrait, picture and sound during the entire recording, and the sound and image must be synchronized.
Communication University of China has made further restrictions on video recording venues and equipment. Candidates can only use ordinary smartphones to record videos. Professional equipment is prohibited. Video works are not allowed to be post-production. The Shanghai Theater Academy puts forward high standards such as "video must be in the end" to restrain candidates, and requires candidates not to wear contact lenses, costumes, or bangs to cover their foreheads to ensure the integrity of the work.
In addition, some colleges and universities will also review the materials and professional re-testing of freshmen after admission to prevent cheating. "If the material is found to be inconsistent with me in the follow-up review process, the test results will be invalid; if the two results are significantly different, and if the candidate is found to be fraudulent during the review of the video, it will be handled by cheating or even sentencing." Director of Shandong Normal University Recruitment Office Du Depeng said that the current "cloud screening" has reached a strict level of control that is basically consistent with the offline exam.
