Live Remote Proctoring

Talview Live Proctoring is a real-time online proctoring service that enables invigilators to monitor test-takers during an exam through live video and audio feeds. This service ensures the integrity of the exam by preventing cheating, impersonation, and other forms of malpractice, providing a secure and fair testing environment.

During a live-proctored exam, trained proctors monitor test-takers through their webcam feeds, screen sharing, and audio. Proctors can observe multiple test-takers simultaneously and are trained to identify and report any suspicious behavior in real-time, using advanced technology and stringent proctoring protocols.

Talview Live Proctoring offers several benefits, including:

• Enhanced exam security and integrity

• Reduction in administrative burden by outsourcing proctoring responsibilities

• Scalability to administer exams to a large number of candidates simultaneously

• Flexibility for test-takers to complete exams from any location

• Immediate incident resolution through real-time intervention

Yes, Talview Live Proctoring services are designed to be compatible with various Learning Management Systems (LMS), allowing for seamless integration and a streamlined process for scheduling, conducting, and reviewing proctored exams within existing educational frameworks.

Respecting and protecting test-taker privacy is a cornerstone of Talview Live Proctoring services. Measures include,

• Compliance with global data protection regulations such as GDPR

• Secure encryption of all video and audio feeds

• Proctor training on privacy protection

• Clear communication to test-takers about what data is collected and how it is used

Proctors receive comprehensive training on the technology used for live proctoring, techniques for identifying and documenting suspicious behavior, and protocols for communication and intervention. This ensures they are well-equipped to maintain the integrity of the exam process.

If a proctor observes suspicious activity, they follow a predefined protocol which may include sending a warning to the test-taker, pausing or terminating the exam, and documenting the incident. All incidents are reviewed post-exam to determine if any breach of policy occurred and what actions may be necessary.

Test-takers are provided with detailed instructions on technical requirements, exam rules, and how to set up their testing environment prior to the exam. They may also be required to complete a system check and verify their identity before beginning the exam.

Test-takers need a reliable internet connection, a webcam, a microphone, and a compatible device to take the exam. Specific requirements will be communicated ahead of the exam, including any necessary software installations.

The candidate to proctor ratio refers to the number of test-takers monitored by a single proctor at any given time during a live-proctored exam. This ratio is crucial for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the monitoring process. The proctoring ratio can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the exam, the level of security required, and the specific features of the live proctoring service being used. Typically, ratios can range from 1:10 to 1:30, meaning one proctor can monitor between 10 to 30 test-takers simultaneously.
