Abstract: Embodiments described herein involve converting written assessments into oral assessments, which may be conversational in nature. The oral assessments may be better at determining the knowledge of an assessee. Additionally, the oral assessments are less vulnerable to academic dishonesty. Embodiments also generate an answer form similar to an answer form that would be used with the written assessment, thereby allowing assessors to seamlessly continue using their practiced assessment methods. In embodiments, a computer-implemented method of examination involves processing a written assessment through a machine learning model to generate an oral assessment, which is then transmitted to an assessee. The assessee responds to the oral assessment, and the response is analyzed using the machine learning model to determine one or more answers to the written assessment. A completed answer form to the written assessment is generated using these answers.
