SMOWL CLASS
The ideal tool for organizations that conduct in-person (or non-identifying) exams or assessments through a computer.
SMOWL CLASS will allow you to adapt the solution to the type of evaluation you need to monitor through two options:
- SMOWL CM (Computer Monitoring): allows you to monitor the user’s computer activity during the test and configure which type of applications are allowed during it.
It detects open applications and browser tabs, connected devices, copy-pasting, etc.
- SMOWL LOCK (Lockdown browser): a more restrictive approach that allows you to lock the user’s browser, showing them warnings if they attempt to exit the browser, copy-paste, etc.
All of this through an intuitive and simple browser extension focused on a user-friendly experience.
SMOWL +
Add new layers of monitoring with SMOWL+.
This plan incorporates webcam monitoring functionality to your supervision, allowing you to verify the identity of the test taker and ensure the integrity of the test.
With this tool, you can be certain at all times that the person taking the test is the correct person and that they are completing it with total integrity, while still maintaining supervision of the user’s computer throughout the entire test.
SMOWL PRO
The most comprehensive and customizable option from SMOWL.
SMOWL PRO allows you to add 360º supervision through a second camera (a smartphone or tablet) to verify that the testing environment has all the necessary guarantees.
Additionally, if any regulations in your sector require it, you can hire human supervision provided by the Smowltech professional team.
You can also enjoy an extended support service and customizable reports.
Request a free demo from us and we will help you with the configuration and integration of SMOWL PRO.
