Online assessments require strict security to maintain academic integrity, but traditional proctoring tools can be invasive and bandwidth-heavy. The Invigilator PC is revolutionising online invigilation by offering a secure, privacy-sensitive, low-data solution that ensures fairness.
Here are five ways The Invigilator PC enhances assessment security:
AI-Powered Facial Recognition
Ensuring that the correct student takes the exam is a primary security concern. The Invigilator PC uses AI-driven facial recognition technology to match student selfies with master selfies.
During the test, the app prompts students to take random selfies, which are analysed to prevent impersonation and identity fraud.
Real-Time Video and Audio Monitoring
The Invigilator PC employs random video recordings and audio detection to monitor for any unauthorised assistance during exams.
The AI algorithms flag suspicious activity, such as speech during the assessment, additional people in the frame, the wrong person in the frame, no person in the frame as well as suspicious student behaviour. This ensures that students complete their assessments independently without assistance from others.
Screen and Internet Activity Monitoring
The Invigilator PC captures periodic screenshots and flags unauthorised applications running in the background on the student’s PC whilst the student is writing an assessment. It ensures that students access only permitted resources whilst writing their assessments.
Low Bandwidth, High Security
Unlike traditional proctoring solutions that require a stable, high-speed internet connection, The Invigilator PC operates with minimal data usage. It does not rely on continuous streaming, reducing the risk of exam disruptions due to connectivity issues. This makes the app particularly valuable for students in areas with limited internet access, ensuring that all students have a fair chance to complete their assessments.
The Invigilator App achieves this by optimising its AI-driven security measures to function efficiently within a lightweight framework. Instead of streaming continuous video, it captures random snapshots and short video segments at preset intervals, reducing unnecessary data consumption.
Similarly, its audio detection works by recording and analysing small snippets rather than requiring a constant feed. These efficient processing techniques allow the app to detect irregularities without consuming extensive bandwidth or overloading servers.
The app also prioritises on-device processing, meaning that a significant portion of the security checks occur directly on the student’s device before any data is uploaded. This reduces the strain on students’ internet connections while maintaining real-time security.
GPS Location Tracking to Prevent Collusion
The app’s GPS tracking feature helps identify if multiple students are taking an exam in the same location. If two or more students are flagged as being in close proximity, it alerts educators to the possibility of collusion. This prevents dishonest collaboration and ensures the credibility of remote assessments.
The Invigilator App: Balancing Security and Accessibility
The Invigilator PC provides a seamless and inclusive solution for online assessments. By leveraging AI-driven security measures while maintaining a low-data footprint, it ensures academic integrity without creating barriers for students with limited internet access.
As universities continue to embrace digital learning, solutions like The Invigilator PC will be instrumental in upholding fair and secure assessments.
