The AI invigilation software can identify and flag certain behavior as suspect during the course of the exam. This ensures a fair testing environment for all students. Keep the following things in mind to ensure a smooth invigilated exam.
Camera position
Keeping the camera properly set up is the most important aspect to ensure you are not flagged by the invigilation software. Follow this guide to learn how to securely log in and start your invigilated exam.
Set up your camera and chair properly before you begin the invigilated exam. To avoid having your recording flagged:
