AutoProctor (protect your test)

 

Google Forms can be used to create quizzes for students in a classroom. But, it doesn’t have a timer so that students get a fixed time to submit the test. Also, the tests cannot be monitored to ensure that the user doesn’t cheat on the test. AutoProctor solves both these problems. With AutoProctor, the test taker will see a countdown timer on opening the Google Form. After the countdown ends, the user cannot access the form. Apart from a test duration, you can also set a Start Time and End Time for the test. Users cannot access the test before the Start Time, or after the End Time.

AutoProctor features

1. User Authentication:

   As the system is AI-enabled, it will be easier for the Proctor to recognize the movements on the screen and the changing of the tabs as well. The candidate needs to make sure that the camera can see his/her face; if not detected, the online exam couldn’t be loaded for them.  If the candidate is away from the camera, it gets recorded and will be marked as a violation. Also, the candidate should have a plain background without any objects or other persons around him.

2. Secure browser:

   The candidates cannot browse or open other tabs apart from the test screen. The screen recorder records all the activities of the candidate during the exam. If the candidate is found browsing some other websites other than the test screen, it will be marked as misconduct, and action will be taken upon the candidate.

3. Generate reports:

   As soon as the exam starts, the screen recorder will record the entire screen activity, and the camera takes the snaps. All this evidence will be displayed at the end of the exam, in the form of a report. Based on the report score, the candidate will be evaluated.                                                                                                          How to add a Timer and Proctor on Google Forms with Extended Forms Addon
