Online classes have taken the place of school classrooms. Although in the initial days online education was a bit confusing but now students have become used to it.

Technology is helping people connect with each other in their homes. Although e-learning comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

  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 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.
