People in Higher Education during this time of COVID-19 turmoil have had to face one more challenge | Remote Proctoring. Technical issues, slowing down the process, fighting new cheating methods from students, and an overall uncertainty were created.
There are a number of reasons for your University to be considering a new exam proctoring solution, we're here to help, if your reason isn't below, feel free to reach out to us anyway.
Minimizing disruption to students caused by Covid-19
Students have had a lot of disruption to their education, don't let that disruption continue to their exams. Remote Online Exam Proctoring provides a great platform to enable remote invigilation on assessments or exams, giving teachers confidence no cheating has occurred, maintaining the credibility of the certification and allowing students to show their true knowledge and ability.
Future planning to expand geographically
Online or distance learning provides a great opportunity for universities and other higher education institutes to expand their reach of potential students, but it also adds complexity on how to invigilate exams. Setting up multiple assessment centers, accessible to remote students across different countries is not only a logistical challenge, but expensive too.
Modern remote proctoring solutions cover the basics of website blocking and preventing access to defined applications during the assessment and allow for monitoring of the environment through webcams and enhanced risk assessment through audio detection, face recognition, and object recognition techniques.
Replacing an existing proctored solution
A lot of existing exam proctoring solutions haven't kept up with modern risks associated with online exams. Exam proctoring is nothing new; technology has existed for years to block access to defined websites or lock down systems so users can't access restricted information. Exam proctoring solutions haven't kept pace with the shift in education dynamics and home technology availability.
Are you confident the student registered for the exam is the one sitting at the keyboard? Are they on their phone talking with peers and collaborating during the assessment? Are they asking a smart speaker or device in the room questions, and how can you distinguish between someone just reading the question out loud to help them process it or accessing an intelligent speaker.
A modern exam proctor needs to be able to identify all of these risks and make them visible to teachers and where critical risks are identified, blocking further progress on the exam.
