The RaPID- System: Room and Proctor Intelligent Decider for Large Scale Tests Programming

  • Fernando Alberto Morales Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín

Abstract


We present the documentation and mathematical modeling of the open-box system RaPIDE. The software is designed for the choice of classrooms and the assignment of proctoring duties in massive tests, which is a common situation in educational institutions offering large coordinated lower division courses. The mathematical model is a binary integer programming problem, a combination of the 0-1 knapsack problem
and the job-assignment problem. The system makes decisions according to the following criteria in order of priority, minimization of labor-hours, maximization of equity in the distribution of duties, and maximization of the proctoring quality.
