“How do I stop my students from cheating in my Online Exam?” – If you are an online educator and have been asking this specific question for a while now, you’re about to get answers to all your questions. As educators are moving to online infrastructures for teaching, they are facing more and more challenges like “online cheating”.
Our Plug & Play solutions are designed to get local educators ‘online ready’ with their own branded educational platform. A part of our digital infrastructure is to provide “LIVE Proctored Examination” capabilities to Educators & Educational brands – to counter the problem of online cheating. Let us start with the basics.
What is LIVE Proctoring & its benefits to Educators?
By definition, LIVE Proctoring is the use of software techniques or a panel of proctors to prevent any ‘unfair practice’ from occurring during an online examination.
Online education has several advantages but a significant disadvantage is the ability, say the unlimited resources, to cheat in an exam. The ability to hold live online proctored examinations is beneficial for three basic reasons.
- Ensures authenticity – An exam in which students can cheat immediately loses its authenticity, which leads to reduced preparation efforts from the candidates.
- Reflect Knowledge Level – What purpose will an exam serve if its results do not accurately reflect the knowledge levels of a candidate? Online LIVE Proctoring prevents cheating.
- Ensures Fairness – Online Proctoring terminates any unfair activities being carried out by students.
Gibbon’s LIVE Exam Proctoring Feature
LIVE Exam Proctoring is an effective tool to curb online cheating. The feature uses advanced software algorithms, and AI Logic, to ensure that the authenticity of the test is maintained at all times. The highlights of the feature are as follows.
No Human Intervention Needed
Gibbon’s advanced LIVE Proctoring feature relies completely on software algorithms, and AI Logic. There is no human intervention required for proctoring as the system by itself foresees any opportunity of cheating, issues a warning, and submits the test if the issue persists.
Full Screen Mode to Eliminate ‘Split Screen’
Sometimes students open another app such as a notepad side by side the browser window in a way that both applications are in view simultaneously. To avoid this, Gibbon’s LIVE Exam Proctoring feature runs the exam in a Full Screen.
Exiting the Full Screen Mode Terminates the Test
If a user exits the full screen mode during an active exam, a 10 second countdown is started. If a user does not re-launch the test in full screen mode in 10 seconds, the test would be auto-submitted and the result would be shown.
