In the modern era of digital examinations, ensuring that candidates are not using any unfair practices is a great challenge. Traditional exams have in-person invigilators in the examination hall who check the candidates. However, proctoring during digital examinations seems difficult. Thanks to technological breakthroughs, online proctoring has become easier and much more effective

Online proctoring involves artificial intelligence, real-time audio/video streaming of candidates, and various other authentication & integration methods to achieve the goal of secure examinations. In addition, online proctors continuously monitor the candidates during the online examination to confirm a fair exam delivery while ensuring the integrity and sanctity of exams.

Key Attributes of Online Proctoring

Authentication

The first and foremost responsibility of an online proctor is to check that the right candidate is appearing for the online examination and not some proxy. This is possible by enabling AI-based facial recognition and OCR to authenticate the candidate before the exam automatically.

Proctoring

During the exam, the secure browser checks any unwanted activity performed by the candidate. Such activities include opening any other tabs, downloading, and switching windows. The secure browser is then able to immediately block these actions. Furthermore, the remote proctor monitors the candidates through live video and audio streaming and AI-based facial recognition. Whenever an anomaly is detected, the remote proctor provides alerts.

Reporting

A comprehensive report of online proctoring provides the necessary evidence to prevent unfairness. Analytics gathered during the exam can also automatically find which candidate generated a higher number of alerts. The video and audio playbacks can be effectively used to validate these occurrences.
