Some of the key features of the exam are as follows
Trustworthy Software
At the core of the Online Proctoring Exam is feature rich, AI driven software. The entire infrastructure is usually a Cloud-based system. Today, with the rise of virtual learning worldwide, it is a natural extension to expect Fully Proctoring Exams online.
Candidate Authentication
The online proctoring begins with authentication. Before the exam begins, the system requires students to present their photo IDs; using AI facial recognition and image matching, the software establishes the identity of the examinee, eliminating any chances of impersonation.
Real-time Candidate Monitoring
The next step involves monitoring of candidates while they take an exam. The software checks the examinee's computer environment and test setting, eliminating suspicious behavior during the exam. This is achieved using sophisticated AI powered analysis to consistently monitor candidates and flag any doubtful cases.
Data Storage and Review
Although the flag raised is real-time, the audio- and video-recording data of the exams is stored on the Cloud. So, after the exams are over, you or your team can review the cases again.
No Chance of Cheating
Can a candidate search for an answer on the web? What if they open an eBook or a material on the screen? What if they have a mobile phone nearby, or a person sitting next to the candidate in the exam room?
SpringPeople assures us that none of that is possible during an Online Proctoring Exam. This proctoring software makes sure that no other software or applications are used while taking the test; equally, AI powered analysis of the webcam video and audio stream consistently monitors and flags any potential misconduct. Even if it is missed, all the recordings are stored online and can be reviewed later.
