Benefits of technology

The patent describes an apparatus and method for checking a test-taker's compatibility with a testing device and analyzing their behavior during a testing session. The apparatus can check the test-taker's computing device for compatibility, take a photo of them, record their audio and desktop feed, and determine if they are exhibiting questionable behavior. The method can also provide the test-taker with test rules, send them a warning signal, and communicate with a live proctor. The technical effects of the patent include improving the accuracy of testing and preventing unauthorized aid from test-takers during testing sessions.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to suspend the testing session if it is determined that the test-taker is exhibiting questionable behavior.
Further, the method may include suspending the testing session if it is determined that the test-taker is exhibiting questionable behavior.

Abstract

Certain embodiments may be directed to a system and method for proctoring an exam, and more particularly, for online automated exam proctoring. A method may include checking a test-taker's computing device for compatibility, and for content that provide unauthorized aid to the test-taker during a testing session. The method may also include taking a photo of the test-taker, recording the test-taker by performing a room pan while analyzing the surrounds of the test-taker for unauthorized objects, and validating the identity of the test-taker by way of at least one of presenting challenge questions, obtaining voice biometrics, or obtaining keystroke biometrics. The method may further include recording the test-taker's audio or video and desktop feed, determining if the test-taker is exhibiting questionable behavior, and suspending the testing session if it is determined that the test-taker is exhibiting questionable behavior.
