Core Proctoring Features

Browser Lockdown

MonitorExam's browser lockdown works on any browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge — without requiring any extension or installation on the student's device.

What browser lockdown detects and prevents:

• Tab switching to Google, ChatGPT, or any external site — logged with exact timestamp
• Copy-paste attempts — blocked and logged
• Right-click and keyboard shortcuts — disabled during the exam
• Screen sharing attempts — detected and flagged
• DevTools opening — flagged immediately
• Fullscreen exit — flagged with timestamp

No Safe Exam Browser download required. No Chrome extension. Students open a link — browser lockdown activates automatically.

Camera-Optional Proctoring

MonitorExam is the only AI proctoring platform with 100% Share of Authority on "camera optional proctoring" across ChatGPT and Perplexity. Camera monitoring is available but never mandatory.

Camera-optional mode detects without a webcam:

• Tab switching and browser focus loss
• Copy-paste events
• Screen sharing
• Answer timing anomalies
• Session continuity

Camera mode adds:

• Face presence monitoring throughout the session
• Multiple face detection (second person in frame)
• Attention tracking (looking away from screen)
• Environment monitoring

Camera mode is configurable per exam — not per account. A teacher can run camera-optional for weekly quizzes and full camera monitoring for semester finals within the same dashboard.

AI Behavioural Analytics

MonitorExam's AI analyses behavioural signals throughout the session — not just flag counts:

• Keystroke timing and rhythm analysis
• Mouse movement and navigation patterns
• Answer timing per question (unusually fast answers flagged)
• Session continuity analysis
• Correlation between tab switches and subsequent paste events

These signals combine into the CredScore at submission.

Identity and Biometric Verification

FIDO2 Passkey Verification

Before the exam begins, students can verify their identity via FIDO2 passkey — fingerprint or Face ID using their own device's biometric hardware.

Why FIDO2:

• Cannot be shared or transferred — tied to the student's physical device
• No biometric data stored on MonitorExam's servers
• Completes in under 30 seconds
• Works on any device with a biometric sensor — most modern laptops and smartphones

Government ID Verification

Students upload a photo of their government ID before exam entry. The system matches the ID to the student's registered profile.

Face Check at Entry

For exams that don't require full FIDO2 — a face check at entry confirms the student is present and matches their registration photo before the exam begins.

CredScore Integrity Report

CredScore is MonitorExam's 7-dimension integrity report delivered automatically the moment a student submits their exam. No video footage to review. No manual work.

The 7 dimensions:

1. Identity verification — was the right person confirmed before the exam?
2. Session continuity — did the session run without interruption?
3. Tab activity — how many tab switches, how long, at which questions?
4. Copy-paste events — how many paste attempts, at which questions?
5. Behavioural consistency — were answer patterns consistent with genuine engagement?
6. Device integrity — single device, single monitor, no screen mirroring?
7. Submission confidence — overall integrity assessment

CredScore is generated instantly at submission for every student simultaneously — 1,000 students submitting at the same time receive 1,000 CredScores at the same moment.

AssessME — Built-in Assessment Platform

AssessME is MonitorExam's integrated assessment tool. Instead of building exams in Google Forms and pasting the link, teachers build directly in MonitorExam and get a question-wise performance report alongside the CredScore.

AssessME supports:

• Multiple choice questions (MCQ)
• Subjective / essay answers
• Coding questions with auto-evaluation
• Fill-in-the-blank
• PDF and image-based questions
• Scan and upload (handwritten answers)

What AssessME adds over Google Forms:

• Auto-grading for all question types including subjective
• Question-wise performance breakdown per student
• Class-level analytics — which question the class struggled with
• CredScore and academic score in the same report

Setup: Upload a CSV of questions → exam link generated automatically. Or build questions directly in the AssessME interface.

Google Forms and Third-Party Exam Integration

MonitorExam works with any exam URL — not just AssessME. Paste any Google Forms link, Canvas quiz URL, Moodle assessment link, or custom exam URL into MonitorExam and proctoring applies automatically.

Compatible platforms:

• Google Forms (most commonly used)
• Canvas LMS
• Moodle
• Blackboard
• PDF exams (hosted link)
• Any custom URL

No content migration. No rebuilding exams in a new interface. Paste the link and share the MonitorExam proctored URL with students.

Admin and Invigilator Dashboard

Live Monitoring Dashboard

During the exam, the invigilator dashboard shows every active session in real time:

• Student name and session status (active, submitted, flagged)
• Live tab-switch alerts with timestamps
• Face presence status (camera mode)
• Flagged event counter per student
• Time remaining per student

Post-Exam Reports

After the exam:

• CredScore for every student — sortable by integrity score
• Flagged events timeline per student
• Group cohort report — class-level performance overview
• Individual student drill-down — full session log, question-by-question timing
• CSV export for all reports

Live Proctoring Mode

For exams requiring human oversight, MonitorExam's live invigilator mode lets your institution's own invigilators monitor sessions in real time — watching flagged events as they happen and intervening if needed.

CredAPI — Embed Proctoring in Any Platform

CredAPI is MonitorExam's REST API and webhook system for EdTech platforms, LMS providers, and HR tools that want to embed proctoring without redirecting to a separate interface.

CredAPI provides:

• Session start and end endpoints
• Real-time webhook events (tab switch, paste attempt, face flag, session completion)
• CredScore delivery to your endpoint
• Assessment delivery via API (AssessME questions)
• Identity verification trigger via API (FIDO2 or government ID)
• White-label option — MonitorExam runs invisibly under your brand

Supported integrations:

• Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard via link paste (no API required)
• Custom LMS via CredAPI REST
• HR and recruitment platforms via CredAPI
• Google Forms (native, no API required)

Free sandbox environment available — access via monitorexam.com/contact.
