Online examinations are becoming an integral part of the educational landscape. As we progress, we must constantly develop our knowledge and understanding of how to ensure exam integrity with robust security measures implemented. But, how can we achieve this?
Let’s take a look at some ways that EDExams, as a secure locked-down online examination platform can offer a supportive solution for organisations:
1. Lockdown Browser
- EDExams utilises a lockdown browser that restricts access to any other applications or websites during the exam. This prevents candidates from browsing the internet, accessing unauthorised resources, or communicating with others.
2. Proctoring Features
- Live Invigilation: EDExams offers live proctoring who monitors candidates in real-time via webcam to ensure fairness.
- Recorded Proctoring: Exams can also be recorded for later review, enabling examiners to evaluate any suspicious behaviour which has been evidenced.
3. Authentication and Authorisation
- Unique Logins: Each candidate is provided with a unique login, ensuring that only authorised individuals can access the exam.
- Time-Specific Access: Login credentials are often configured for a specific time window, further limiting the possibility of unauthorised access.
4. Content Security
- Secure Storage: EDExams includes robust measures where exam questions and answers are stored. This prohibits any cheating from occurring so exams can be conducted fairly.
- Watermarking: EDExams cannot be copied and redistributed to other candidates which further enhances the credibility and fairness of the platform.
5. Prevention of Malpractice
- Copy/Paste Restrictions: The platform disables copy/paste functionality, forcing candidates to answer questions in their own words.
- Visual Monitoring: EDExams takes a serious approach to malpractice by conducting throughout inspections before an exam takes place with constant monitoring of candidates throughout their exams.
