NOVEMBER 2023HR TECH OUTLOOK EUROPE19users can access a broader and more diverse question bank. For instance, inputting one question into the platform can result in AI algorithm generating multiple variations on the same topic, making assessments more comprehensive.This AI-driven approach aims to improve test quality by avoiding predictability and ensuring each exam is unique and challenging. "The intuitive use of AI not only boosts the diversity of your content but also fortifies the integrity of assessments, making them more robust against potential leaks or memorisation tactics," says Adnan Maakoul, product manager, Optimum Assessment. Optimum Assessment sees the collaboration between human expertise and AI in content creation as just the beginning. It anticipates its impact across all stages of the assessment process, from question development to candidate testing and evaluator grading.For instance, consider its role in enhancing language skill assessments, as seen in the Netherlands during immigration exams for Dutch proficiency. Initially, the platform assisted human assessors in evaluating speaking, writing, and listening skills. With AI integration, the process will become even more faster and efficient, ensuring quicker evaluations while preserving the essential human element in assessments.The team at Optimum Assessment understands traditional open-ended question scoring can be subjective due to human evaluators' biases. However, integrating AI tools with human evaluators promises a more objective and consistent candidate evaluation, guaranteeing accuracy and fairness beyond the conventional means.The use of AI in the platform will also facilitate proactive fraud detection through identification of unusual patterns in exam deliveries. This proactive approach, unlike the reactive industry norm, can detect fraud early, ensuring exam integrity and enhancing platform credibility. During live exams, invigilators can instantly recognise these patterns, allowing prompt alerts.Paving the Way for the Future of Optimal AssessmentsBy actively engaging in collaborative research with a leading Dutch University, Optimum Assessment is planning to bring out all these features to its platform and enhance the assessment process. It is not solely relying on theoretical insights but is also working with industry peers to develop practical solutions. Its goal is to seamlessly integrate real-world assessment experiences into a virtual setting to meet and surpass customer expectations.For, instance, its in-depth research with a significant partner has shown promising results, indicating that implementing AI in grading is both feasible and poised to change the landscape of automated scoring. With this dedication and forward-thinking approach, Optimum Assessment is not just aligning with but leading future assessment trends, reshaping its platform for the better. Our goal is to demonstrate our platform users that AI can augment the exam creation process and empower them towards more tailored and equitable assessment experience, anytime and anywhere
