Abstract

Objectives: Developing a computer-based system for examinations is the substitute for the current examination system based on paper. In recent days, the E-learning has become more popular because of its adaptability, integrity and user friendliness. In terms of the paper-based examinations, major challenge is the proctoring techniques used. In this paper, a novel method to avoid the presence of a proctor throughout the examination is proposed by an intelligencebasedexamination system. Methods: The system is designed with different complexity levels among the questions and also it acts as a tool for assessing the understanding of a student from the teaching materials. This method is proposed to improve the E-learning using intelligent question banks and examination system. Findings: This system can be timesaving and more efficient with an adequate level of security. The proposed methodology can be classified into two main phases such as the design of question bank along with its database, the design of the Artificial Intelligence based system for examination and its evaluation in order to improve the e-learning. Applications/Improvements: Future works in this system can be improved with the addition of theory-based questions and the integration of biometric based systems for enhancing the level of security.
