There are three virtual proctoring options with Gauge and one 'instructor led' option.
Fully-Automated Virtual Proctoring
This solution allows you to verify the identity of test or exam takers and record their test for later review. The user's device is ‘locked down’ to only be able to take the test and have access to approved materials. This technology also reduces the risk of test materials being copied and distributed. The key features of this virtual proctoring solution include:
- Identity Verification: Test takers must confirm their identity periodically using a Government ID and biometrics.
- Record Keeping: Tests are recorded, allowing for post-exam review if necessary.
- 24/7 Accessibility: Test takers can use this service at any time, providing flexibility for both instructors and students.
Our partner, ProctorFree, offers 24/7 support, making it a convenient and reliable option for maintaining exam integrity.
Human-Assisted Automated Virtual Proctoring
Add an extra layer of security by adding a trained proctor to the automated virtual proctoring option. This professional proctor reviews test session results on behalf of the instructor and collaborates with AI technology to detect and report instances of cheating. Incident reports are made available detailing test anomalies on the test session timeline. The key features of this solution include:
- Human Oversight: Trained proctors review test results to ensure integrity.
- AI Assistance: Artificial intelligence helps identify and report potential cheating.
- Comprehensive Analysis: A combination of human and AI scrutiny enhances the accuracy of identifying red-flag events.
Live Virtual Proctoring via Webcam
Get live real-time monitoring and interaction with test takers. Similar to the other virtual proctoring solutions, it offers identity verification, AI-based monitoring, and test result review by trained proctors. In addition, the live proctor guides the user through the verification process and exam setup. The live proctor is present during the entire test session watching for any anomalies. The key features of this solution include:
- Live Webcam Monitoring: A live view of the test taker is maintained throughout the exam.
- User Assistance: The proctor assists the test taker in getting verified and ready for the exam.
- Result Reporting: The proctor reviews the results and provides reports.
This option is ideal for scenarios where a more interactive approach is required to ensure exam integrity.
