What Are Proctor Systems?

The primary goal of Proctor Systems is to prevent cheating or any other form of dishonesty for any type of academy assessment whether they are conducted in-person or online. For the purposes of this report, we will look at four specific subcategories: 

• Authentication: A proctor authentication system is a solution used to verify the identity of the student ensuring that the student who is taking the exam is the same one enrolled in the course. This is done so by using a combination of biometrics, live monitoring, environment scanning, keystroke analysis. Proctor authentication systems are intended to provide a controlled testing environment for remote or online examinations. 
• Plagiarism Testing: A proctor plagiarism testing system is a technological tool or software designed to identify plagiarism in students’ written work. Such a system helps educators identify instances of plagiarism by text analysis, originality assessment, and similarity reporting. 
• Test-Taker and Behavioural Review: A proctor test-taker and behavioural review system is a solution used to monitor and assess student behaviour during and after exams. This system promotes integrity by verifying the identity of the test-taker and by monitoring the test-takers behaviour throughout the exam as well as detecting suspicious behaviour. It has automated alerts and a post-exam report which allow human proctors to analyse and assess the integrity of the exam. 
• Testing Environment Assurance: A proctor testing environment assurance system is a solution used to ensure integrity and fairness of online exams and assessments. This system uses environmental scanning techniques, browser lockdown features, and an environment assessment which aims to minimize external distractions thus ensuring a standardized environment for all students.
