The education system across the globe has undergone a paradigm shift in terms of the mode of conducting and the method of teaching. The pandemic has forced the institutions to take online as a mode of teaching and conducting examinations, which has become a “new normal”. Now the cases have reduced much and shown hope to get into normal. Yet, many colleges are hesitant to completely open institutions.
It was worse during
the first wave of the pandemic. Institutions were confused about how they are
going to make online exams possible. Firstly, facing difficulty in maintaining
the integrity; secondly, conducting it seamlessly for mass.
Cheating – The Main
Concern for the Institutions
Dr. McCabe and the
International Center for Academic Integrity studied the cheating habits of
students across the US. They found 43% of graduate students, 68% of
undergraduate students, and 95% of high school students admitted having cheated
in assignments or exams. This is not specific to the US, but a worldwide issue.
The study is conducted between 2002 and 2015, before digital transformations.
The institutions are
concerned about the integrity of the exams when conducted online without
invigilation. There is a lot of room for cheating and malpractice among
students, which questions the purpose of the exams.
HireMee ProEx has an
AI-enabled proctoring system that prevents students from window shifting,
copy-pasting, and changing the answers once selected. Also, an AI image
proctoring system continuously monitors the students and prevents them from
cheating. Sectional timing control adds to preventing malpractice.
Scalability and
Efficiency
The platform is
recognized by NSDC, SSCs, Ministry of Labour and Employment, and AICTE to
conduct nationwide large-scale examinations. Multiple candidates can take
examinations from different places without technical glitches. The concurrency
of the platform (that is, tests taken parallelly at the same time) is 15,000 in
real-time. The platform has an auto-scalable feature that can scale even beyond
15,000. Till now, 14,40,945 tests are taken from HireMee ProEx.
It is suitable for
various types of exams like graded assignments, internal exams, end semester
exams, computer lab exams, and class tests. Also, it supports various types of
questions like objectives, subjective, programming simulations, audio/ video,
and task-based questions. Institutions find it a one-stop solution for all
examination problems.
An Advanced Platform
for Online Exams
Along with solving
the burning issues of the institutions, HireMee ProEx solves other problems of
institutions and students. For institutions, HireMee ProEx helps at an
operational level, content level, and evaluation level.
At the operational
level, the platform is user-friendly for academicians to work on digital space
in creating question papers and evaluating the answers. At the content level,
HireMee ProEx prevents personal identification information (PII) and question
paper leaks. The next problem is the security of the content. HireMee ProEx
sources and hosts question paper management. After the exam is conducted
successfully, it manages the semi-automatic evaluation of the answers. Complete
manual evaluation through a device is strenuous for the evaluators and
automatic evaluation might not be relevant for subjective answers. Through
semi-automatic evaluation, the answers are evaluated and the scores for various
sections are compiled and announced.
With HireMee ProEx,
the students can take the exams through mobile or laptop with a working camera.
And with a minimum 512 Kbps data speed they can complete the exam without
interruptions. The issues of the students are that they have no dedicated study
room. With deactivated VOIP in AI proctoring system, they can take exams
without the AI raising red flags for the slightest noise.
