Record & Review Proctoring

Talview Record and Review Proctoring is a flexible, efficient proctoring solution where test-takers’ audio, video, and screen activity are recorded during the exam. Trained proctors then review the recordings post-exam to identify and report any irregularities or misconduct, ensuring the integrity of the testing process without the need for real-time monitoring.

The process involves several steps,

• Test-takers are monitored through their webcam and microphone, with their screen activity also being recorded throughout the examination.

• Upon completion of the exam, recordings are securely stored and queued for review.

• Trained proctors analyze the recordings, looking for specific behaviors or anomalies that may indicate a breach of exam policies.

• Incidents are flagged for further action by the institution or certification body.

• Flexibility for test-takers to complete exams at a convenient time and location.

• Scalability, allowing institutions to administer exams to large numbers of candidates simultaneously.

• Cost-effectiveness by reducing the need for a large number of live proctors.

• Detailed audit trails of each exam session for comprehensive review.

Yes, Talview Record and Review Proctoring employs stringent security measures to protect the integrity of the exam and the privacy of test-takers. This includes secure encryption of all recorded data, strict access controls, and adherence to global data protection regulations.

Privacy is a top priority. Test-takers are informed about what data will be recorded and how it will be used. Recordings are encrypted and stored securely, with access limited to authorized personnel only. All operations comply with relevant data protection laws to ensure test-taker privacy is respected and protected.

While highly effective in identifying many forms of misconduct, like looking away from the screen, accessing unauthorized materials, or the presence of another person, no system is infallible. Combining AI analysis with human review enhances accuracy, providing a robust solution for maintaining exam integrity.

If cheating or rule violations are detected, the incidents are documented with evidence and reported to the relevant authorities within the institution or certification body. They then review the incidents and determine the appropriate action according to their policies.

The review timeline can vary based on the length of the exam, the volume of exams being processed, and whether the review is conducted by human proctors or AI. Providers typically offer a turnaround time ranging from 24 to 48 hours for most exams.

Test-takers will need a computer with a webcam and microphone, a stable internet connection, and potentially specific software or a secure browser provided by the proctoring service. Exact requirements will be communicated well in advance of the exam.

Implementation involves selecting a proctoring service provider, integrating their solution with the institution's examination platform, and setting up the exam parameters. Training materials and technical support are usually provided to ensure a smooth setup and operation for both exam administrators and test-takers.
