Online invigilation 

Online invigilation, also known as remote proctoring, enables candidates to take exams securely from their home or workplace using audio and visual connections. Our online invigilator supervises the test-taker through their computer’s webcam, verifying their identity and monitoring for any suspicious behavior. If needed, the proctor can pause or terminate the exam to ensure integrity.

This method eliminates the need for candidates to travel to a testing center, providing convenience without compromising security. It’s an effective solution widely used in certification programs.

Our process

EDExams offers trained invigilators to invigilate your exams. Following strict invigilation protocols and quality assurance, our service allows for a seamless proctoring service.

Invigilation within EDExams

EDExams offers two types of invigilation:

1. Live Invigilation

For examinations and assessments for a single learner or a cohort of learners, we offer a comprehensive invigilation report and feedback for each individual learner with an in-depth analysis of any suspected malpractice.

2. Record and Review

The Record and Review feature lets EDExams analyze exam recordings at various speeds, marking suspicious activity for senior examiners. We recommend a 6X playback speed to effectively spot repetitive behaviors that may indicate security issues. Each learner receives a detailed report and feedback on any suspected malpractice.

All EDExams invigilators have experienced professionals in the exam delivery sector, following JCQ guidelines and processes. 

EDExams uses Application Program Interface (API) technology to request permission to the user’s webcam for the purposes of verifying their identity and validating that they were paying attention during the examination or assessment. At the start of the process, the system will request that the candidate present their photo identification and their webcam. An image of the photo identification is digitally stored in an encrypted format and only used to verify the user’s identity, once verified, the encrypted image file is permanently purged from the database entirely. 

A full and comprehensive invigilation report is given back to the organisation on each candidate including any issues during the examination. Examinations are flagged by the invigilators if further action needs to be taken.
