Autoproctor is a software tool designed to facilitate online examinations by monitoring students during assessments to ensure academic integrity. It typically uses a combination of video, audio, and screen recording to observe test-takers and detect any suspicious behavior. Features may include:
1. **AI Monitoring**: Uses artificial intelligence to analyze student behavior during the exam, flagging any anomalies or potential cheating.
2. **Browser Lockdown**: Prevents students from accessing other websites or applications during the exam.
3. **Identity Verification**: Ensures that the person taking the exam is the registered student, often through facial recognition or ID verification.
4. **Reporting**: Provides detailed reports on student behavior during the exam, highlighting any potential violations.
5. **Integration**: Can be integrated with various Learning Management Systems (LMS) for seamless exam administration.
Autoproctor and similar tools have gained popularity, especially in the context of remote learning and online assessments, as educational institutions seek to maintain standards of integrity in a digital environment. However, they also raise concerns regarding privacy and the extent of surveillance on students.
