They are cost-effective, time-consuming, resource-efficient, and convenient for all the stakeholders too.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While online examinations might not completely replace offline exams, they can surely augment the online assessment endeavours of educational institutions and organizations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with the convenience of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/prevent-cheating-during-online-examinations\/\">online exams<\/a>, there are some challenges that administrators need to take into consideration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conducting an exam with technology can be easy, but it also poses security risks for those who administer or monitor them- especially hackers looking at compromising sensitive data, which could lead to identity theft!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_an_Online_Exam\"><\/span>What is an Online Exam?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using technology, you can assess candidates related to a particular subject\/ topic. Traditional pen and paper-based exams are replaced with computer-enabled digital assessments, which can simplify many administrative activities for the institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_challenges_of_an_Online_Exam\"><\/span>What are the challenges of an Online Exam?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, before we can start with the challenges being faced with Online Exams, let me tell you technology has come far away and has developed solutions for many of the challenges already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_Constraint\"><\/span>Location Constraint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online Exams offer the freedom to appear for the same from any remote location of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An insecure Online exam provides an opportunity for candidates to get help from external sources while attempting the exam online. If proper security measures are not taken, then online examination implementation may result in increased activity of malpractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Freedom_to_browse_the_web_and_copy\"><\/span>Freedom to browse the web and copy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Online Exam from a remote location sounds more like an invitation for an Open Book Test (the same one that we used to appear for when we were in school).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A candidate might open any source of their choice and copy the answer content within minutes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, you, as an exam controller, don\u2019t have any control over this malpractice, do you?<br>Frankly, an Online Exam seems like an open ground to cheat and attempt malpractice against the candidate who is appearing for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_6_ways_to_secure_your_online_exams\"><\/span>Here are 6 ways to secure your online exams-<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"6 most essential ways to secure your Online Exam Process | Eklavvya\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iCdcHJ8CFVg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Video_Proctoring_Live_streaming_of_Online_Exam\"><\/span>1.

Minimizing the increasing rate of malpractices became inevitable with the help of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/remote-proctoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Remote Proctored Online Exams<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does Online Proctoring mean?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proctoring refers to the activity of supervising or monitoring an examination activity. Similarly, Online Proctoring refers to the supervision or invigilation of an Online Exam from a remote location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/exam-remote-proctoring-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Online Proctoring<\/a> extends the freedom to invigilate from a remote location to the invigilator; in other words, the invigilator becomes a remote proctor and ensures the security and integrity of the Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Video Proctoring?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be very specific, Video Proctoring is a mechanism that uses live video streaming or recorded video as a medium to ensure the security and integrity of an Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video Proctoring uses the web camera mounted on the candidates\u2019 computer as the source to record the video for the proctoring activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Video Proctoring work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.epravesh.com\/online-exam-remote-proctoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video Proctoring<\/a>&nbsp;works parallel to the Online Exam process. When a candidate is all set to appear for an Online Exam, he\/she needs to log in to the system on which the Invigilator or Remote Proctor is already logged in from the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the candidate has to complete the formal identity verification process, where the remote proctor shall confirm the identity of the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proctor would verify the candidates&#8217; identity against the identity proof submitted at the time of registration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post the successful verification session, the candidate can proceed with the Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Video Proctoring activity can be executed with two different sets of actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Video Proctoring with Live Streaming:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The remote proctor would continuously monitor the remote candidate appearing for the exam through completely live video streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the proctor notices any suspicious activities or any signs of malpractice through the visuals being displayed, he\/she can directly prompt the candidate and hold the right to suspend the Online Exam conduction at any point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Video Proctoring with Recorded Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this very case, the proctor can go offline once the verification is done. With the webcam mounted on the computer, the candidate would record the complete video for the Online Exam activity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recorded video would be saved on a cloud server and would be available for evaluation by the proctor at any later point in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proctor would watch the complete video for the Online Exam and confirm the integrity and security of the process. Video Proctoring eases out a lot of Online Exam Security hassles and also saves you a considerable amount of time and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to Conduct Online Proctored Exams ?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DG55GClM1k4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Image_Proctoring_Clicks_pictures_during_Online_Exam\"><\/span>2.

The proctor can opt-out out of reporting the candidate if he\/she happens to attempt any suspicious activity throughout the captured images of the Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"How to secure Online Exam Management with Remote Proctoring Mechanism | Eklavvya\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0kH9Lhmt53o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Face_Recognition_Candidates_Identity_Verification\"><\/span>3.

Audio Proctoring is one such preventive measure to consider when it comes to seizing the complete security for an Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Audio Proctoring?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/auto-proctoring-exam-invigilation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Audio Proctoring<\/a> is a mechanism that records each bit of voice, sound or noise from the environment where the remote candidate appears for the Online Exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The invigilator or proctor can later analyze the audio recorded for suspicious voice notes or distortions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does Audio Proctoring secure online exams?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only visuals might not be able to justify the security of Online Exams. This is why we need a mechanism like Audio Proctoring, which can help us analyze the Online Exam environment for audio or voice malpractices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fair chances are there that the candidate appearing for the exam might appear sober in the video and image proctoring, but he\/she might be seeking some audio\/voice-based help to attempt cheating in the Online Exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The audio proctoring mechanism would make sure that the online exam is conducted in a 100% secured and controlled remote environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the slightest deviations in terms of sound waves would be recorded with Audio Proctoring. The proctor would have full-fledged access to the audio associated with every candidate who appeared for the online exam through the cloud server. The proctor can wisely analyze and identify the malpractices encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also possible for the proctor to have video communication with candidates to warn or instruct them about exam rules. Direct Video communication can be done in any language preferred by the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Secure_Browser_Bars_the_candidate_from_browsing_the_internet_during_Online_Exam\"><\/span>5.

The exam controller holds the authority to suspend the online exam for the candidate who just tried to breach security enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, we are also allowed to make such a provision where the system would voluntarily warn the candidate for the defined number of times on attempting the window switching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the candidate continues the same behavior post being warned a set number of times, the system will automatically suspend the Online Exam for him\/her. The Secure Browser technique is a simple way to add security mechanisms to your online exam process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Audit_Logging_Monitors_each_click_with_minute_details_of_the_Online_Exam\"><\/span>6.

May it be session Login\/Log Out or may it be the navigation between the questions of the Online exam, everything is tracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These kinds of logs are recorded for each of the candidates who are appearing for the Online Exam and are accessible to the proctor at a later point in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system can also log how much time the candidate has moved away from the exam window. Advanced screen recording activity can enable the invigilator to view the entire activities of the candidate during the exam process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The proctor can opt to analyze the Audit Logs for any candidate. If he\/she observes any suspicious activity amongst the logs recorded, it can be immediately reported and counteraction could be taken against the candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonus_Tip_to_Conduct_Secured_Exams\"><\/span>Bonus Tip to Conduct Secured Exams<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eklavvya.com\/blog\/360-degree-proctoring-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">360-degree proctoring<\/a> is a cutting-edge reliable solution that has revolutionized the way online exams are administered.
