During the pandemic, the transition to remote learning has become inevitable all over the world. As a result, students' knowledge has to be assessed using an online test format that gives learners many opportunities to cheat. However, online proctoring technologies can help to overcome these obstacles.
Remote proctoring is a monitoring technology that automatically detects any prohibited activity during the exam. The whole process is controlled using three sources: audio, video, and desktop screen recording. In case of attempts to open another tab or window (except the one with the exam) or look at the cheat-sheet / listen to a prompt, the system automatically marks the violation and sends the information to the examiner. Generally, the proctoring process is monitored by a proctor, a specially trained person who notes any minor violations and supervises the monitoring system's correct operation.
Generally, high-tech proctoring systems have several key advantages that allow high-quality inspection at an optimal cost.
