Auto Proctoring is an automated system used to monitor and supervise online exams. It uses advanced technology to detect and prevent cheating, ensuring the integrity and fairness of the examination process.
Auto proctoring systems employ a combination of AI algorithms and machine learning techniques to monitor test-takers. The system uses the candidate’s webcam, microphone, and screen activity to detect suspicious behaviors such as looking away from the screen, talking to someone, or opening unauthorized websites or applications. If any irregular activity is detected, the system flags it for review by a human proctor.
Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously monitors test-takers through video, audio, and screen capture.Behavior Analysis: Uses AI to analyze behaviors and detect potential cheating.Automated Alerts: Flags suspicious activities for further review.Scalability: Capable of proctoring large numbers of exams simultaneously.
Clear Guidelines: Inform candidates about the proctoring process and what is considered suspicious behavior.Technical Support: Provide technical support to ensure candidates can set up their equipment correctly.Review System: Have a robust review system in place for flagged activities to ensure fairness.
Auto proctoring systems are designed to respect privacy, using secure data transmission and storage protocols. Recorded data is usually only accessible to authorized personnel.
While auto proctoring significantly reduces the need for human proctors, it is typically used in conjunction with human oversight to review flagged incidents.
