Systems and methods with image capture device and assessment computing device for learning assessment

Abstract

A system includes an image capture device and an assessment computing device. The image capture device is configured to capture an image of an object and a first score associated with the object on a first scale. The assessment computing device is configured to receive the image of the object and the first score from the image capture device, and to receive a second score on a second scale that is different from the first scale from a third party assessment source computing device. The assessment computing device is also configured to normalize the second score to a particular scale to provide a normalized second score, and to determine a level of mastery based at least partially on the first score and the normalized second score. The assessment computing device is configured to generate a user interface with information indicating the level of mastery.
