Preventing Cheating – A Critical Responsibility Of The Entity Conducting The Online Test 

 


Remember, reliable proctoring software is not just a way to monitor the exam but a mechanism to catch and prevent cheating.  For example, the entity conducting the exam has at its disposal tools such as the mic, high resolution webcam, and screen capture features. These can be used in conjunction with AI to monitor the activity of the test taker from a remote location.

 	
The microphone is going to record audio
 	
Webcam is going to keep an eye on the movement of the student for any “unusual” behavior
 	
A human proctor can be enrolled to watch over the students and their screen to detect and prevent any cheating
 	
Presence of a second person or an unknown / unidentified voice can be detected with AI enabled features
 	
The webcam can record and monitor eye movement, neck movement, stepping out of webcam and the like
