Taking online exam seems to increase the chance of cheating in comparison with paper testing. Online exam cheating is also a problem that most educational institutions are faced with. But this situation only occurs in the traditional online exam. In today’s proctored exam system, we can use its smart anti-cheating functions to prevent students from cheating.
Let’s take a look at how smart today’s proctored exam system can be.
- Face recognition
Before taking exams, test-takers need to match their faces with photos which uploaded by administrators. If the candidate is a ghost writer , his face will fail to match the uploaded photo and this surrogate exam-taker will have no right to enter the exam.
- Screen lockdown
When taking exams, test-takers are easy to make use of Internet to search for answers. In order to avoid this situation, Online Exam Maker develops a powerful function “Screen lockdown”.
While this function is set, test-takers are prevented from
- Switching the page to other websites
- Using remote control, multitasking or projection
- Being interfered by some popups
- Webcam video and audio
If the camera invigilator is set by the administrator and the computers of exam-taker have camera, the administrator can monitor the pictures of students taking exams. When the invigilator discover the cheating action, he/she can warn students of cheating.
Also, while taking exam, the system will take random photos of test-takers.
Similarly, proctored exam system can detect students’ cheating intelligently. When students violate the code of conduct, such as bowing their heads, looking around, or the presence of multiple faces, the system will issue a warning. If those behaviors occur more than the set number of times, the test paper will be forced to hand in. This smart function establishes the exam’s credibility and authenticity.
