Exams taken at the student's home
Résumé
During the last two years, we have conducted an experiment of proctored exams taken at the student's home. The proctoring is carried out by the webcam and an application allowing the supervisor to interact in the student's screen. This experiment has been realised thanks to a project of the french higher education ministery and in partnership with FIED within a European project. The first important result is to note that there is no significant difference in success rates between the online proctored exam and the traditional exam taken at university sites. Others results are interesting on the quality of the experience lived by the students, on questions as different as the stress during the test, the impression of intrusion in the private life, the possibility of cheating, the absence of the teacher during the examination, the contact with the remote supervisor... Last October, we launched a public market offer to find a proctoring provider enabling us to increase number of students registered at our institution. Then, we work with a French company, Managexam. Last February, 45 students took 191 exams at home around the world. The quality of the work with Managexam, its adaptation to our constraints and the positive feedback from students encourage us to further develop online exams proctoring. More widely than distance learning students, online proctoring could also provide interesting solutions to all the students who have troubles to access to classical exams for several reasons (long life learning, disability, sickness, …).
