Proctoring Solutions
Online Assessment Invigilation
When identity security around the assessment or certification is paramount, we provide our industry leading biometric invigilation service.
The invigilation service "wraps around" our assessment providing your users with a seamless experience. It will also provide you with the assurance that you need in high stakes, high value or high risk environments, that the person taking the assessment is who they say they are and that there’s no collusion or cheating during the test, examination or assessment process.
Reference Photo
We check whether the person taking the assessment compares with an image stored in my*Know
Substitution check
We check that the person who started the assignment remains and they have not been substituted
ID Check
We can check if the person taking the assessment is the same as in their photo ID such as driving licence
Biometric Monitoring
We can identify the face of the person taking the assessment and check for multiple faces.
Define your own workflow using the workflow builder and configure your level of security based on the assessment and/or your users.
You are able to define an assessment workflow that includes multiple custom prompts that can inform the user as each step is about to happen. For example, you can wrap the monitoring task (which is the task during which the assessment is taken) with a sequence of tasks that check the user's identification, takes a baseline photo for reference, refreshes or informs the user with video content or media and then an identification task after the assessment is complete to ensure the candidate is the same.
All this coupled with live monitoring and clever AI algorithms that will flag suspicious activity will ensure the correct person is taking the assessment and also deter them from cheating.
Environment Record
Make sure that the candidate is alone or is adhering to exam conditions by allowing them to record their immediate surroundings prior to beginning the assessment. Webcam technology is used to achieve this and the recording is stored against their attempt in the administration system.
Seamless integration
The proctoring software has been cleverly integrated so the transition between the proctoring workflow and the assessment is non-jarring and flows intuitively.
Full event logging
Metrics such as time started, time started each question, browser focus (to detect if the user is potentially searching for an answer in another browser tab), faces detected and much more are logged.
Timeline
A full timeline is provided giving full exposure of detected absences, comparison alerts and photos taken during the course of the attempt giving an informed, holistic view of the assessment taken.
Intervention summary
A summary of events that may result in a manual intervention being required is provided, such as browser focus lost, too many faces, insufficient base-line photo match and more...
Full workflow configuration
Adjust the confidence and frequency in detection, the aggression of facial analysis and toggle clever features that ensure the candidate is focused on the assessment and not another browser tab or other distraction.
