Abstract:
In this talk, we present a secure and smart model for summative e-assessment, where exams can be conducted distantly, e.g. at home. This model aims to provide e-learning systems with an authentication approach that guarantees minimum cheating in home-exams. It utilizes a combination of automatic video matching and continuous bimodal biometrics authentication using fingerprint and keystroke dynamics. This ensures that an examinee is the correct person on the other side throughout the e-examination without a need for a proctor.
The proposed model is based on one of the open source e-learning and learning management systems. Moreover, it employs a media server, a suitable media encoder, and the necessary application programming interfaces (APIs). Its implementation requires advanced algorithms of video matching and feature extraction. Finally, the proposed model can be developed and applied in several systems for authentication, distance monitoring and/or remote control.
