AI + Human Proctoring #
Remote proctoring, also known as online proctoring, refers to the use of technology to monitor and ensure the integrity of an exam taken remotely, typically online. There are two main types of remote proctoring: human proctoring and machine-assisted proctoring.
Human proctoring, also known as manual proctoring, involves a human proctor overseeing the exam remotely, typically through the use of a webcam and live video streaming. The proctor can communicate with the candidate, provide instructions, and monitor the exam invigilation through continuous video streaming activity.
Machine-assisted proctoring, also known as AI proctoring, uses advanced facial recognition algorithms and other technology to automatically verify the candidate’s identity and monitor the exam environment. This can include detecting the use of unauthorised devices or the presence of other people in the exam room. Machine-assisted proctoring can help to ensure the integrity of the exam, but it may not be as effective as human proctoring in detecting and preventing all forms of cheating.
Using a combination of both human and machine-assisted proctoring can provide a more secure and effective way to invigilate remote exams. It is important to carefully consider the proctoring method that is most appropriate for a given exam and to ensure that the chosen method is reliable and effective in maintaining the integrity of the exam.
