“…In [8], [9], [10] authors propose online exam environments that can prevent cheating actions with preemptive procedures, so that without any proctor they can minimize the number of cheating attempts. In another variation of this approach, preemptive systems are combined with human proctors as in [11], [12] There are automated interview systems that do not have AI-based anti-cheating services like [13], [14]. These systems were designed for an online coding platform to evaluate the candidates.…”

Remote examination and job interviews have gained popularity and become indispensable because of both pandemics and the advantage of remote working circumstances. Most companies and academic institutions utilize these systems for their recruitment processes and also for online exams. However, one of the critical problems of the remote examination systems is conducting the exams in a reliable environment. In this work, we present a cheating analysis pipeline for online interviews and exams. The system only requires a video of the candidate, which is recorded during the exam. Then cheating detection pipeline is employed to detect another person, electronic device usage, and candidate absence status. The pipeline consists of face detection, face recognition, object detection, and face tracking algorithms. To evaluate the performance of the pipeline we collected a private video dataset. The video dataset includes both cheating activities and clean videos. Ultimately, our pipeline presents an efficient and fast guideline to detect and analyze cheating activities in an online interview and exam video.

“…These systems were designed for an online coding platform to evaluate the candidates. Although [13] and [14] have plagiarism services, there is no detection for the presence of multiple persons or electronic device usage. Some approaches like [15] combine autonomous detection systems with human proctors with well-defined pipelines.…”

“…The efficiency of writing programs in a written test can be only attained with hands‐on practice. It is found that the motivation levels and learning in programming courses get better with the usage of online coding tools [27]. Even the time constraints posed in the online coding tools have been found to have an impact on the students' learning skills [14].…”

Information technology is an integral part of current education, even in noncomputer disciplines. As the role of Information technology-based education tools is recognized as significant in the education of millennial learners, there is a development of different types of tools and techniques in education. Usage of such tools in content delivery and assessment has been found to improve student engagement and active learning. When looking for unique tools to practice and assess computer programming and algorithmic courses, online coding events launched by popular forums have been identified as a tool for practice and assessment. These forums have been introducing new computing problems specified in a professional language, so that students get trained in programming these complex problems rather than the conventional problems. This article explores the possibility and success measure of integrating online coding events as a part of formative assessment. A study has been performed with two consecutive offerings of a course. The results obtained from the various forms of assessment are analyzed and presented in terms of correlation with summative and formative assessment scores and improved student performance. The results of the experimental study are found encouraging, thereby appreciating the usage of online coding platforms for introductory programming and algorithmic courses. K E Y W O R D S formative assessment, online coding, pedagogy, programming, student performance 1 | INTRODUCTION Current technical education for millennial learners is expected to be supported with technology, as the learners are tech-savvy in nature [28]. Information Communication Tools and various pedagogical techniques have been the need of the hour when it comes to education. There is a large-scale development of different tools and techniques pertaining to education, such as Learning Management Systems (LMS), Studentresponsive systems (SRS), and Quizzing Systems (QS). These systems manage information in a centralized manner, store contents that can be readily accessible, and produce relevant analysis based on the performance. Usage of such systems reduces the manual effort required in managing classroom environments in terms of content delivery and assessment for any learning discipline, and it is hence promoted in higher education institutes. Active learning strategies like Poll, Think Pair Share, and One Minute paper, when practiced through the relevant tools, form a strong basis for formative assessments.
