&lt;strong>My role:&lt;/strong> Application design and development, from teacher workflows to the student experience and system integration.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="the-problem">The problem&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Preparing an assessment is only part of a teacher’s work. Distributing it, tracking submissions, correcting answers, sharing material with colleagues, and organizing make-up sessions all take time. As an IT teacher, I wanted to bring those steps together in a tool shaped around everyday classroom needs.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>I created &lt;strong>Eval&lt;/strong>, a web application that supports the assessment workflow from exam authoring to publishing results.&lt;/p>

&lt;h2 id="what-i-built">What I built&lt;/h2>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Flexible exam creation:&lt;/strong> multiple-choice, matching, short answers, open text, code, mathematics, and file attachments, with reference answers and grading criteria.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Reusable teaching material:&lt;/strong> teachers can share assessments with colleagues and create independent copies to adapt them to their classes.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Student and teacher workflows:&lt;/strong> group organization, assessment distribution, automatic saving, and submission tracking.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Assisted correction:&lt;/strong> automatic grading for structured answers and AI-generated grading suggestions for more open-ended responses.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Teacher review:&lt;/strong> a correction interface that brings the student’s response, reference answer, and proposed feedback together. Teachers can adjust points and decide when to publish results.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Follow-up sessions:&lt;/strong> result consultation and targeted make-up assessments within the same workflow.&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;h2 id="ai-that-supports-the-teacher">AI that supports the teacher&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>The interesting challenge was integrating AI into a process where professional judgment matters. Eval uses teacher-defined reference answers and criteria to guide suggestions. The teacher reviews the correction and retains the final decision over published grades and feedback.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>This project demonstrates how I approach applied AI: connect it to a concrete task, make its output reviewable, and keep the person responsible in control.&lt;/p>
&lt;h2 id="integration-and-development">Integration and development&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Eval includes &lt;strong>Microsoft Entra ID integration&lt;/strong> for institutional sign-in. I built the application with &lt;strong>Laravel, Vue, and Inertia&lt;/strong>, combining backend workflows with an interactive web interface.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The result is a custom tool that brings together teaching requirements, full-stack development, identity integration, and workflow automation, designed to reduce repetitive administration and make the assessment process easier to follow.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>&lt;em>Internal school project. No public demo is available.&lt;/em>&lt;/p>
