Proctoring: Revolutionizing Online Exams with Advanced Monitoring at Think Exam

The surveillance of online examinations is paramount in maintaining the students’ honesty. At present, practicing virtual examinations is very common and therefore advanced systems of invigilation come into being. In that spirit Think Exam is a comprehensive online assessment solution incorporated with intelligent proctoring tools for ensuring academic dishonesty is eliminated; and the security of the test is not compromised. In-house recruitment, entrance exams for universities and certifications in general, AI monitoring has a significant part to play in discouraging cheating and ensuring the authenticity of testing processes.

What Is Proctoring?

Proctoring refers to the act of overseeing an examination to ensure that it is conducted in an ethical manner, devoid of any underhand practices or malpractices. Initially being face-to-face where invigilators would handle the process, contemporary monitoring has taken the route of remote, automatic and AI formats. With Think Exam testing with AI Invigilation is a breeze as it is embedded in the system, hence restricting the geographical mobility of schools and firms in carrying out examinations while retaining their integrity.

Think Exam considers different factors in the provision of AI monitoring and they offer a host of methods. They are all appropriate for certain functions even as they are still robust and secure:

1. Live Proctoring

   During live proctoring, invigilators observe the examination of students in real-time using the webcam and screen-sharing applications. The dashboard of Think Exam allows the active proctor to simultaneously observe many applicants, report any suspicious behavior and can even disable or kill the tests in cases of malfeasance.

2. AI Proctoring

   This is simply a concept whereby Artificial Intelligence technology is used to monitor users’ examination centers with the aid of a face detection tool and eye cameras, sound analytics, and checking their surroundings. With Think Exam’s AI invigilation there is no worry about monitoring as it happens without interruption 24/7 and one does not need manpower which is convenient for expansion.

3. Recorded Proctoring

   In this variation, the whole test is recorded, including the student’s actions on screen, webcam, as well as audio. The proctors can then go back and view the footage if there were no rule enforcement concerns during the exam. The recorded monitoring model provided by Think Exam particularly fits institutions that prefer to review in non-real time.

4. Hybrid Proctoring

   Hybrid exam monitoring uses both man and machine to bring together the best of the two worlds, with a special bias on artificial intelligence whereby human intervention of a proctor is only sought upon for behavioral misconduct. The hybrid approach of Think Exam’s AI invigilation puts great emphasis on the balance to be aimed at.
