Abstract

Of great importance in the educational process, exams based on grid tests, both online and offline, nowadays are becoming more widespread, offering a high efficiency in the process of assessing the knowledge of pupils and students, as well as in the process of correcting tests. In order to meet the growing demands of having an easy-to-use tool for creating and correcting grid tests, the author designed an automatic grid correction system based on optical character recogni-tion and an original response detection algorithm. The presented system offers multiple facilities such as: easy construction of a set of questions; generating modified variants of sets starting from a source set; au-tomatic generation and printing of exam sets and grids for completing the an-swers; automatic correction of grids completed by the students; the possibility of manual verification of any corrected grid; displaying the results in the application graphical interface, along with the exam statistics.
