An important feature of online proctoring software is to secure a safe online exam environment and make sure that students don’t cheat. The monitoring view in Exam.net allows teachers to monitor each student’s progress live during an exam. In addition, Exam.net locks the exam window during exams, which prevents students from accessing the internet. This helps maintain a controlled testing environment for online proctored exams.
Many online proctoring solutions have an automated recording of the exam session. This can raise concerns regarding privacy and storage of the test takers’ data. Exam.net focuses on cheat prevention during online examinations, but does not record the remote proctored exams. Instead, Exam.net relies on various security measures to maintain the integrity of remote proctored exams.
Online proctoring can reduce costs for educational institutions and organizations. By conducting online proctored exams, institutions can save money on facilities, staffing, and other resources that would be required for extensive in-person monitoring. Additionally, online proctoring is easier and more efficient than having to keep an eye on a whole class.
Remote exams can be taken from anywhere, allowing students to avoid the hassle of traveling to a testing center. This is particularly advantageous for students who live in remote or rural areas, or those who have mobility or transportation issues. In addition, online tests can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for the student, allowing them to balance their academic obligations with other commitments such as work or family responsibilities. This can be particularly beneficial for adult learners or those who are studying part-time.
Students often use various devices for online proctored exams, including private Chromebooks. Exam.net improves online proctoring safety by offering a security mode specifically designed to prevent cheating. While the preferred high-security mode restricts leaving the exam window entirely for managed Chromebooks, the exam can still be started in any browser, which also gives students with private Chromebooks access to the exam. Throughout the online exam proctoring, educators receive alerts if students attempt to leave the browser window, ensuring a secure testing environment.
