The jury awarded the prize to the team of the Universitat de València ‘Smart Correction System’. The project is aimed to improve the process of the correction of university exams. It consists in including a QR code in the questions of the exam that leads, once done and scanned, to its correction in different offices of the university. This technique avoids the loss of original documents and provides the possibility to prepare automatically the records. Likewise, the system makes possible the creation of comparative graphics for each question.
