Webcam goes high tech
Tutors and Educators are now started using 360 degree fish eye webcam with audio and video recording to monitor students taking test from home. The online distance education university were always in dilemma that lots of student don’t wanted to go to test taking center and pay money to rent the testing computer just to take the test in those centers, while they already have computer at home and more to that those testing centers are very far from the home at times, not to mention impossible to find in the middle of the Ocean. This online university has most students from American military bases around the world, and even from the aircraft carrier. This way it makes it impossible to have any testing center at ease of access.
So to find the solution to eliminating to go to testing center, online universities let students take the test from their own home. This worked out well until the colleges found out that students were cheating while taking the test at home, where there is no way to tell if there is the actual student taking the test or someone else. There were few problems with student taking test at home, one was that the students were cheating by accessing the files they stored in the computer earlier for the test, they were also going online and find solution while taking the test and the biggest problem was sometimes the student was not taking the test bust his friend who knew the subject well.
To prevent students from cheating on their exams, the software company has developed the software and the webcam which can record 360 degree surrounding while recording audio also, so the person who is taking test cannot leave the desk or call on phone to get help from other people, but then there was the problem if the student ask someone else to take the test for him or he can get information from his own computer or internet? Well the software company developed the software and web cam which has finger print recognition technology with the software locking up your computer for the time of test so student cannot access his own computer or get on internet while taking test, so the student has to log in for the test with his own finger print, webcam records every move and audio, while computer cannot let you access your own computer for any other purpose but the test.
