Examus Introduces New Product for Verbal Exams

Examus has launched a new product, the online proctoring system named Examus Verbal. It provides maximum transparency and remote monitoring of students during verbal exams.

Examus Verbal allows an organization to conduct a verbal exam remotely in a single-window mode. The entire process is recorded and analyzed by artificial intelligence (AI) and an independent proctor to ensure maximum transparency. At the beginning of the exam, students connect to the system, get their question cards, and then have time to prepare the answers. When the time expires or when the examinee is ready, they are invited to a separate virtual room with the board of examiners. The communication process between them is the same as during the classic verbal exam in a classroom.

The smart AI solution, together with the proctor, can track:

• Absence/presence of a student or other people on the screen;
• Unknown voices in the room;
• Usage of cheat sheets, lecture notes, telephones, tablets, and other gadgets by the examinee;
• Usage of virtual machines, screen-sharing software, and other tools to pass the exam by somebody else;
• Switching between windows or tabs on the user's desktop;
• Any attempts of non-verbal communication.

In comparison with traditional verbal exams in the classroom, Examus Verbal makes it possible to assess students' knowledge remotely from anywhere in the world, monitor how each student is preparing the answer, and record a video of the entire exam.

"During the pandemic, almost all educational institutions are switching to distance learning and are forced to hold exams and tests remotely. However, it is challenging to ensure if all procedures are followed and track whether students are cheating. That is why online proctoring systems are helpful. They monitor the exam process using three channels: audio, video, and the examinee's desktop screen record. Our solutions have already been successfully applied by leading Russian and foreign universities for written exams. Until recently, we did not have the opportunity to organize effective proctoring for verbal exams, but with the launch of Examus Verbal, the dream came true. And due to the open API, our proctoring system can be integrated with any LMS of an educational institution," said Dmitry Istomin, the CEO of Examus.

More than 100 customers (educational institutions and corporations) already use our company's products. On average, Examus helps conduct about 150000 exams every month.
