An autonomous articulating desktop robot for proctoring remote online examinations

Abstract: In this paper we describe a new low-cost, autonomous desktop robot for proctoring examinations in online/distance learning courses. The robot is attached to the student's computer via a USB port and monitors the examination environment using a webcam that articulates in both altitude and azimuth together with an array of acoustic sensors that provides audio directionality. The examination may be monitored in real time by a live proctor via the Internet or the data may be recorded for future review. Authenticat… Show more

“…However, both proposed solutions come with their own disadvantages. Requiring students to travel to specific exam sites may not be feasible for remote students, and hiring remote proctors can be expensive (Rosen and Carr, 2013). Indeed, in the current context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, in-person proctoring has been unfeasible in many regions.…”

“…Common methods of virtual proctoring a couple years ago such as online video communication (Hylton, Levy, & Dringus, 2016; Weiner & Hurtz, 2017) are being replaced with more sophisticated software (Alessio et al, 2018; Daffin Jr & Jones, 2018). Still, avenues for further innovation have not been exhausted in the field of massive open online courses (MOOCs) (Li et al, 2015), heuristic‐based automatic virtual proctoring systems (Raj, Narayanan, & Bijlani, 2015), multi‐biometric systems (Fenu, Marras, & Boratto, 2018) and autonomous articulating desktop robots for proctoring (Rosen & Carr, 2013). It is thus conceivable that virtual proctoring will outperform human proctors in the near future and become the standard in online, distance and traditional education.…”
