An online secure examination

Abstract

In today’s rapidly advanced technology, the integration of digital tools has slowly been integrated into various aspects of our lives. Educational institutions are progressively incorporating digital tools into their teaching methods. With the COVID-19 epidemic, the shift to digital platforms has increased even more since it gives students access to course materials from any location with an internet connection. As a result, online exams are also administered. Online exams offer flexibility, allowing students to take exams at their convenience. However, this transition introduces challenges, especially regarding educational integrity as there is no physical invigilator to oversee the students. This project focuses on developing a secure online examination platform by featuring live proctoring capabilities for administrators, instructors, and students. My role will primarily focus on the instructor’s perspective. The role of an instructor is to create, modify, and manage exams seamlessly. Additionally, instructors have a platform to communicate with administrators to address any technical issues or concerns. This collaborative approach ensures that the platform remains adaptable and responsive to the evolving needs of educational institutions. By integrating the functionality of all three roles, we have successfully developed a comprehensive online secure examination. This platform facilitates remote examination for numerous students, ensuring flexibility and accessibility without compromising the integrity of the assessment process. Additionally, instructors can remotely oversee students during exams, thereby enhancing the security and reliability of the assessment process.
