Video Proctoring

Overview

Video proctoring refers to the use of digital technologies to monitor and supervise online exams remotely.

Purpose

Components

• Video Monitoring: Continuous recording and live monitoring of exam sessions using webcams.
• AI-driven Analysis: Algorithms detect suspicious activities like eye movements, background noise, or multiple faces.
• Screen Sharing Control: Limits on screen sharing and application access prevent unauthorized resources.

Implementation

• Integrated within online exam platforms or standalone software.
• Requires students to have compatible devices (webcams, microphones) and a stable internet connection.

Considerations

• Privacy Concerns: Balance monitoring needs with student privacy rights.
• Accessibility: Ensure equitable participation with compatible hardware/software.
• Effectiveness: Weigh deterrence of cheating against potential student stress.

Future Trends

• Advancements in AI enhance detection accuracy.
• Hybrid models integrate automated monitoring with human proctoring for improved oversight.
