Introduction Last updated: 3 days ago

Rekax V2 is the second version of Mavrosera’s fully automated grading system, designed to streamline the evaluation process for educational institutions. It enables schools to onboard teachers, who then manage their students and assessments efficiently. This documentation serves as a comprehensive guide for schools, teachers, and students on how to use the platform across both desktop and mobile web interfaces. Additionally, it includes information on support, security, and frequently asked questions.

1.1 School Registration

The school must follow the instructions outlined in the For Schools section to complete the onboarding process.

For Schools

Upon successful registration, the school will receive an email from Mavrosera confirming that its account has been created.

You may view this demo video to view the full process of creating accounts.

2.2 Levels

This is an interface where schools can create or update levels. Those levels will be assigned to teachers and students. Teachers will be able to prepare for exams and add students with respect to the levels they are assigned to. Also, students who are in the same level will have access to the same exams.

While creating levels, schools must mention:
  • Level name e.g: S1, Year 1
  • Small description of the level e.g: Senior 1 students

2.3 Home Dashboard

The Home section serves as the central hub where the school can monitor exams and their current submission status.

Schools can:
  • View a list of created exams.
  • Track the number of submissions per exam.
  • Check whether an exam is still ongoing or has ended.
By clicking on a specific exam, the school can access a detailed table displaying:
  • Exam Name
  • Student Names
  • Student Emails
  • Student Phone Numbers
  • Submission Status (Submitted, Not Submitted, or Graded)

2.4 Set Exam

The Set Exam section allows schools or contest organizers to create and configure new exams. To set up an exam, the following details must be provided:

  • Exam Name
  • Start Date & End Date of the exam
  • Exam PDF (The document containing the exam questions)
  • Select method of submitting / answering the exam (either OMR for MCQ or Hand)
  • MCQ Solutions for OMR exams, and Marking Scheme for Hand Corrected Exams

For OMR exams each question consists of five answer choices.

For Hand-written exams, for each point on the marking scheme you specify the similarity threshold and context parameter. The context tells the quantity of text above and below a potential correct answer to the model when it is assessing whether a point mentioned by the student matches one on the marking scheme. The similarity parameter determines to what extent those points are similar.

When the exam format is Topic, the marking scheme point should specify the question the students will be discussing (e.g: Disadvantages of soil erosion). In this case, the similarity threshold determines to what extent those points have to be distinct. Lower similarity threshold means students have to be very creative, while higher similarity means students don't need to be very creative.

Feel free to leave context and similarity with default values in case you are not sure.
