Automated proctoring: smart and scalable supervision
What is automated proctoring?
Automated proctoring is a remote supervision method based on artificial intelligence. It analyzes user behavior during the test and generates alerts for possible irregularities, without human intervention in real time.
It’s the ideal solution for institutions with a high volume of evaluations or limited resources for direct monitoring, while maintaining high standards of academic integrity.
How does SMOWL’s automatic proctoring work?
During the exam, the SMOWL system continuously monitors the student’s session. It can supervise:
- The user’s face through the webcam.
- The device with Computer Monitoring or browser activity with Browser Lock.
- The physical environment with a second camera.
SMOWL’s AI analyzes behavior and records incidents such as person changes, face disappearance, presence of companions, unauthorized objects, and many other irregularities.
At the end of the exam, the system generates an automatic report with evidence classified by risk level.
