The problem EduHelper solves

During the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, the education sector had taken a toll on both teachers and student life. The students were unsure about the knowledge they are gaining during the online courses due to the lack of physical interactions. We aim to build an application which will be able to facilitate the teachers in generating questions automatically to be given as a short assessment to the teachers. Other than that any individual appearing for online courses will be able to assess themselves by using our application. We plan to implement a end to end solution for assessing students and learners using 4 different kinds of question formats after getting input from various sources like text, audio, pdf and video links.

Challenges we ran into

It took strong teamwork and time management to complete a large-scale project within 30 hours. To learn how to implement the BERT API, we had to learn about natural language processing at a lower level and try to figure out how it can be used to generate distractors for MCQ type of question.
