Proctoring software for academic integrity

Remote proctoring software plays an important role in monitoring online exams and ensuring academic integrity. The job of an online proctoring software is to make sure that test-takers are who they say they are and that they're taking the exam in a fair and honest way. Here's how it works:

• Before the Exam: First, before the exam starts, the instructor or administrator sets up the proctored exam software and lays out the exam rules and settings. These rules might include things like no internet access, no screen sharing, and no external devices.
• Identity Verification: Next up, Digiexam verifies the test-takers identity, matching high-resolution face photos, identification cards or passports against the student’s profile in the proctoring view.
• Exam Monitoring: Once the identity is confirmed and the examination has begun, the online test proctoring software gets to work using video, screen, and audio recording to monitor the test-takers activity throughout the exam. The Digiexam's online exam software can pick up on strange behavior, like multiple faces, unusual head movements, or weird sounds.
• Suspicious Activity Detection: If anything suspicious pops up, like if the test-taker looks away from the screen or tries to use an external device, the software will alert the proctor or the exam administrator if there is one present, and mark it down in the recording. The recording can be reviewed afterwards to identify any suspicious behavior to take action if necessary, like disqualifying the test-taker or launching an investigation.
• Post-exam Review: Finally, after the exam is over, the software generates a report that summarizes the exam activity and any alerts that were generated. The proctor or exam administrator can review this report to identify any issues or concerns.
