AI tool by Digii and AWS to help Indian teachers with roll call, student assessment

Manipal Academy of BFSI, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) Bangalore, Chanakya University, The Apollo University, and Techno India University are a few of the Indian colleges that have been selected for the rollout of DigiiAI.

The Bengaluru-based SaaS company said that it developed DigiiAI to help educators save time by automating time-consuming, menial work such as taking attendance, preparing class schedules, documentation of course files and students’ performance, assessment creation and evaluation, etc.

By using DigiiAI, faculty members will also be able to streamline the process of drawing up assessments. “Faculty can select Bloom’s taxonomy levels that will create questions best suited to desired learning outcomes, with diverse question formats readily available such as fill-in-the-blanks and multiple-choice questions, among others,” Digii said.

How does DigiiAI work?

DigiiAI has been built on top of AWS’ generative AI technology called Amazon Bedrock which gives customers access to a range of foundational AI models with various capabilities.

“This collaboration has allowed us to harness the power of multiple AI models effectively, ensuring a robust and scalable solution that enhances the teaching experience for faculty,” Hemant Sahal, founder & CEO, Digii, said in a statement.

Going forward, Digii said that it is looking to expand the use cases of its AI tool so that it can evaluate answers to subjective questions and offer adaptive assessments to students who take self-practice tests.
