Automatic Assessment Of Artistic Colleges Aptitude Test (AI)

the staff has some problems when they evaluate these aptitude tests like lost time and effort that will make it hard to collect the great number of students that have passed these exams.
Also, the student overcomes several obstacles to have the aptitude exam.
• There are external factors that affect the performance of students, such as long travel and the time of arrival to the hall, which requires most students to resort to public transportation that is crowded at times.

• And There are internal factors that affect the student's performance in the examination hall, such as the crowded hall that will affect his concentration, the loud sound in the hall caused by students entering or leaving, and the student's inability to perform under pressure. And every student wants to take his exam in a suitable environment, because the environment affects our focus on exam performance and our comfort. And when we convert the offline test into an online test, we can reduce the cost of the paper used in the test. So, to keep up with the current developments, we have developed a program to solve these problems easily.

•  helps students to take the test electronically easily by saving the time and effort resulting from long-distance travel and a concentration factor and a suitable environment for the student.

• Enriching students' knowledge of computer drawing by adding an editor to provide students with digital art skills.

• Developing student’s skills by providing free platforms, paid courses, and experimental programs for teaching and training on digital drawing at different levels in the stages of drawing in a simplified manner.

• Avoiding human error and feelings in following up the exam automatically without human intervention while enabling the educational authority to review the exam.

• Facilitating the process of registering for the test through the application and reducing overcrowding on the colleges.

• Reducing the burden on faculty members in terms of the system of monitoring and correcting tests and organizing exam locations for students.

• Achieving speed in terms of showing test results to students and accuracy in results.

2 Communities ( Students - Teaching Staff )

Students : 

Problem ==> Solution 

• Traveling for long hours and crowding while submitting the required papers➔ Students fill out an online form/application, and payment is also made through Fawry machines.

• The exam is also conducted at home or in an suitable environment chosen by the student to support students' artistic creativity.

• student suffers from a weakness in the technical skills of digital art ➔the application provides some educational videos for all departments and experimental programs to teach and train the student on digital drawing at different levels in the stages of drawing in a simple and smooth way, in addition to free training.

Teaching Staff:

Problem ==> Solution 

• Supervision for long hours and continuous days causes physical effort and financial burden on the teaching staff and overcrowding ➔ It is reduced by conducting the exam online, and monitoring is canceled with the right to view the observation (optional case).

• The tiring correction process and the delay in showing the results of the aptitude test ➔ 70% of the exam is corrected by advanced algorithms with high accuracy and very fast, thus avoiding possible human error.

Through the experience of some of the team members with this type of test, they encountered some of the problems that were mentioned previously, so we decided to seek to solve these problems.

So we did a lot of the research process, and more than one interview was done with the responsible teaching staff in those colleges, as well as an interview with the students to find the most appropriate solution to solve these problems.

The  teaching staff helped us in the proposed solutions and also provided us with some data such as examples of the questions presented in the test.

After all that, the appropriate design of the application interface was done, and we started the implementation phase, then the testing phase

ArTec Prototype Screen

After a lot of research, we found that Solve is the perfect solution for such ideas, for the 6 solutions that it seeks to achieve in such a field.

Solve aims to connect all Solver teams with partners who can help advance their solutions through monetary and/or non-monetary support.

We have found that it is one of the best choices due to its ability to finance and assist these projects, hoping that it will help us implement and finance our idea.

The student can apply to perform the aptitude test from the application without the need to go to the university, thus avoiding the process of traveling for long periods, as well as the crowding process that he suffers from, And he can apply for the test in 3 colleges, including (College of Fine Arts - College of Specific Education, Department of Art Education - College of Art Education)

He also has the ability to perform the test from the application without performing it inside the college he wants to join.. Also, the process of assessment the test is completely automated using artificial intelligence, except for a small part of it, and also the monitoring process is done using various techniques of artificial intelligence, Computer Vision, and thus The burden on faculty members in the college has been reduced in the correction and monitoring process

Reducing the burden on faculty members ( teaching staff ) in the monitoring process for long days due to the number of test days, and also reducing the burden in the assessment process that takes place for many hours and for more than one day as a result of the huge number of students applying for this test.
Also, the process of frequent travel of the student to apply for the test and to perform the test will be reduced, and the process of overcrowding that occurs will be avoided and the appropriate environment will be provided for the student that helps him to take the test in a quieter manner.

We have found that the number of applicants to perform these tests has decreased compared to last year due to the problems mentioned earlier.
This is a statistic of the number of students applying in the last 5 years

We use different technologies in more than one field, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and image enhancement.

1- We have two team members responsible for designing the user interface    ( UI / UX Design).

2- And two to implement that design using Android mobile application ( Flutter ).

3- And two to link the application to the data base, as well as the creation of a Dashboard to control it by the Ministry of Higher Education and specialized faculty members ( Back End ).
4- And three members to apply the technology used in science of ( Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Image Enhancement  )
5- And a member to implement everything we need in graphics, including motion videos and designing logos ( Graphic Design ) 

Some of the different courses will be provided in the application for students applying to take the test.. and also for students enrolled in such colleges in different departments..
The financial return will be returned to us from those courses, as well as advertisements for them
