Answer:

Apart from using a proctoring tool, there are various strategies that test organizers can adopt and leverage the inherent features within their institution’s Learning Management System (LMS) to decrease cheating during online examinations. Here are some of them:

1. Create questions that require higher order thinking. Instead of having students respond to questions that can be answered by a simple web search or even by finding the answers in their textbooks, create questions that are on the analysis, synthesis and evaluation levels (Bloom, 1956).

2. Use varied question types. Refrain from having an exam with all multiple choice or true and false questions and include open-ended questions. It is more difficult for students to give the same response as their friends verbatim for open-ended questions  and students would be forced to explain their responses using specific details and supporting narratives that are outstanding to their own understanding of the course materials.

3. Creatively remind students of academic integrity policies. Create and post a video explaining the guidelines for the online exam and review the institution’s academic integrity policy and consequences that are listed in the course syllabus. There may be some psychological impact on students after seeing and hearing their instructor discuss academic integrity right before an exam begins, which may deter students who were thinking about cheating.

4. Offer different versions of the same test. It is recommended to have many versions of the same test so that, in the event that students are taking the test in the same physical space, it will be less likely for them to have all the same questions.

5. Verify true identities of test-takers. While it is not that common for a different person to show up and take a candidate’s exam, verifying the true identity of test takers is the safety net to avoid such incidents. ID verification can also be conducted by a proctoring provider like ProctorExam, by measuring the test taker’s ID document against their biometric profile.

6. Use ProctorExam’s mobile phone monitoring option for greater security. ProctorExam offers one extra option to minimize cheating in online exams through the use of candidates’ mobile camera. Without invading their personal information, the mobile phone camera is used for a 360-degree room scan before the exam start and a diagonal view of the candidates’ workspace throughout the exam. Looking at their phones and texting while tested is thus made nearly impossible.
