Guide
AI Proctoring for Secure Assessment
How AI-based remote proctoring works, the different approaches available, and the detection methods institutions use to protect exam integrity.
Remote proctoring exists because an online exam has no invigilator standing in the room. This guide explains how AI-based proctoring approximates that oversight, what it monitors, and how detection actually works during a live exam.
What this guide covers
- What remote proctoring is and how it differs from in-person invigilation
- Different proctoring approaches: live, recorded and AI-flagged review
- Technical methods used to detect and flag suspected malpractice
- Why remote proctoring matters for exam integrity and candidate trust
Who it is for
Controllers of examination and exam security teams introducing or reviewing remote proctoring for online assessments, as well as students who want to understand what is being monitored during a proctored exam.
Proctoring technology flags anomalies; it does not replace institutional judgment about what to do with a flagged case. The guide is written to help readers understand the mechanics well enough to set sensible review policies around the flags the system raises.
