What is a proctoring tool?
A proctoring tool confirms a student’s identity and monitors their activities through a webcam. It is mostly used to proctor online exams, which are remotely supervised, timed and prevent and detect suspicious activity. They have become especially prevalent during the pandemic and have retained their importance.
How Fuse Classroom’s proctoring tool works
Fuse Classroom’s proctoring tool is an AI-enabled system that doesn’t require human intervention. AI detects suspicious activity with even higher accuracy. The tool monitors and tracks suspicious activities, including cheating, turning off the camera, venturing away from the exam screen, and switching off the screen.
Final evaluation
The proctoring tool conducts a final evaluation featuring a suspicion level percentage and colored indications of suspicious activity in different parts of the exam. The red indicator in the time stamp denotes suspicious activity during the exam and the black indicates the video recording was inactive or the student left the exam or camera was turned off.
To access further details, one must only click on the timestamps with red indicators to view and analyze the activity in detail. Instructors can view the activity in the dialog box. Instructors can monitor students’ behavior using the AI-enabled proctor tool and decide whether or not students cheated
