Inspera Assessment
Inspera Assessment is an online exam proctoring software platform that empowers educators to securely and reliably author, deliver, and grade digital assessments of various kinds, both formative and summative. It can be used on campus as well as off campus; its intuitive user experience works on any device with internet connectivity; customizability allows it to meet your organization’s specific requirements; it supports different question types as well as accessibility provisions as well as non-English speaking assessments.
Inspera Assessment goes beyond proctoring; it offers additional features designed to improve student experience and exam integrity, such as flexible learner feedback, enhanced grading tools, and an effective business continuity management process. Teachers can even upload questions from external sources – even existing question banks!
Inspera Digital Assessment Platform offers students a range of support services designed to address any technical difficulties during online exams, including accessing a “Digital Exam Support Assistant” (DESA). A DSA can assist with troubleshooting devices and software issues as well as offering guidance about how best to approach exam questions.
DESAs provide an ideal option for students with disabilities or difficulty using technology; however, it should be remembered that the DESA cannot act as a replacement for invigilation services and students must understand that they will receive allotted file preparation and upload time as part of their exam work time; any submission made after its due date will incur a late submission penalty fee.
Inspera Digital Assessment Platform is built using international web and learning technology standards, and integrates seamlessly into student information systems and learning management systems of your institution. Furthermore, its APIs enable developers to add additional functionality that improve the student assessment experience – as well as enable other tools like plagiarism checking.
Inspera Smarter Proctoring
Though e-learning continues to gain in popularity within education, concerns over cheating during online assessments remains. To address this problem, there are now various online proctoring tools that can monitor examinee on-screen activities, verify identity and record test sessions – such as lockdown browsers that block access to other applications, desktop functions and keyboard shortcuts during exam sessions – but such software comes with certain restrictions which must be carefully considered before being employed in practice.
This software can prevent students from copying assessment content, downloading files onto their hard drives and recording video of an exam session, capturing video footage during testing sessions, printing material without permission, screen-sharing/multi-monitors usage as well as external USB devices/wireless connections being detected; not to mention having poor security records that leave students vulnerable to hacker attacks and malfunction.
Inspera Smarter Proctoring is an advanced tool designed to remotely monitor students’ exam experiences. It features features that enable timed and untimed assessments as well as live video feed and secure browser environments; additionally, this technology enables administrators to identify any violations to exam rules immediately and intervene immediately.
Software for both Mac and Windows computers, the SEB app runs pre-test checks to make sure it has working camera/microphone, meets minimum CPU speed requirements, is in the appropriate folder in apps folder and that sign-in options are properly set up.
During an exam, the software will automatically close all apps and websites except SEB app before sending a recording of student webcam to Inspera server for verification and record-and-review proctoring. Furthermore, keyboard shortcuts not related to SEB window functions will be disabled along with monitoring processes that could open alert windows during an SEB exam, clear clipboard contents forward/backward browsing as well as potential security holes within Flash content will all be blocked by monitoring processes.
