The rapid growth of online
examinations using Internet-based assessment tools has continued. The
inability to control a student’s environment while taking exams has
been a major challenge for higher education. A clear correlation
exists between an increase in the number of acts of dishonesty and
the failure of institutions offering courses to monitor and enforce
policies on cheating.
The current technology,
biometric systems can be used in remote proctoring systems to verify
and monitor students taking online exams. Provides solutions by
integrating facial recognition software, video surveillance systems
and computer restriction software into a system which supports the
integrity and quality of online assessment.
Some examples of online exam
cheating may include:
- Having someone other than the enrolled student taking an exam
- Copying and collaborating with others during an exam
- Accessing to materials that are not allowed, such as textbooks and web resources.
Technology has progressed to
the point that biometric systems, such as facial recognition,
fingerprint, and eye scanning, have been implemented successfully in
many organizations and processes. Authentication system using server
technology with biometric systems and video surveillance system, has
gained popularity in monitoring activities in small businesses, big
corporations, government, households, municipalities and educational
institutions.
