ProctorU unveils AI for online exam proctoring
Proctoring firm ProctorU has released an AI-driven service that identifies suspicious online test-taking behaviour in real time. The software uses machine learning to adapt to students' behaviour, uses facial recognition and auditory analysis to identify when a student might be cheating, and offers multi-factor authentication to verify students' identities. Additionally, a live video stream enables examiners to observe students taking exams as if they were in the classroom.
