Abstract
With the expansion of Internet and technology over the past decade, E-learning has grown exponentially day by day. Cheating in exams has been a widespread phenomenon all over the world regardless of the levels of development. Therefore, detection of traditional cheating methods may no longer be wholly successful to fully prevent cheating during examinations. Online examination is an integral and vital component of E-learning. Students’ exams in E-learning are remotely submitted without any monitoring from physical proctors. As a result of being able to easily cheat during e-exams, E-learning universities depend on an examination process in which students take a face-to-face examination in a physical place allocated at the institution premises under supervised conditions, however this conflicts with the concept of distant E-learning environment. This paper will investigate the methods used by student for cheating detection in online exams, through continuous authentication and online proctors. In addition, we have implemented an E-exam management system, which used to detect and prevent the cheating in online exams. The system used fingerprint reader authenticator and eye tribe tracker in exam session. We researched two parameters that can define the examinee status as cheating or non-cheating during exam. Through these two parameters: the total time on out screen and the number of times on out screen were computed.
Highlights
In recent years, information and communication technologies (ICT) witnessed rapid developments and had direct impacts on human life, especially in the field of education
This paper investigates all types of methods used for cheating in distance exams (D-exams), and resolves this problem by either detection or prevention
This paper addresses the cheating in online exam
Summary
Information and communication technologies (ICT) witnessed rapid developments and had direct impacts on human life, especially in the field of education. E-learning has become increasingly popular over the last few years and widely adopted by educational institutions It enables to deliver information whenever students need at anytime and anywhere over the web. Sometimes referred to as eexamination, are Internet based questionnaire They are created randomly from questions set per student with a preset time limits by which the exam is to be completed. D-exams are a way of delivering questions to students who are not physically present in a traditional setting such as a classroom. They are created randomly from questions set per student with a preset time limit by which they should be answered. The rest of this paper organized as follows: Section II describes cheating, Section III depicts authentication, Section IV describes online proctor, Section V introduces the e-exam management system architecture, Section VI presents the eexam management system algorithm, Section VII presents the implementation of e-exam management system, Section VIII presents the experimental results, Section IX provides conclusions, and Section X provides future work
