在线考试中的欺骗和不诚实被认为与其不受监控的性质有关，在这些评估中，用户似乎有机会合作或利用未经授权的资源。本研究的主要目的是调查基于网络摄像头的监考对在线考试期间不当行为的威慑作用。本研究采用实验设计，对实验组和控制组进行比较。两组学生都参加了相同的课程，使用相同的电子学习系统，由相同的教师授课，并参加了相同的在线考试。其中一组由一名网络普罗克特监督，而另一组则不受监督。结果表明，两组之间的分数没有统计学上的显着差异，虽然非监考组的分数略高。在完成在线考试所需的时间上存在统计学显着差异，其中监考组完成考试的时间显着减少。实验后的调查结果表明，那些谁没有监考被认为经历了更大的机会，从事不当行为比那些谁是基于网络的普罗克特监测。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Deception and dishonesty in online exams are believed to link to their unmonitored nature where users appear to have the opportunity to collaborate or utilize unauthorized resources during these assessments. The primary goal of this study was to investigate the deterrent effect of Webcam-based proctoring on misconduct during online exams. This study involved an experimental design in comparing an experimental group and a control group. Both groups attended the same course, used the same e-learning system, with the same instructor, and took the same set of online exams. One group was monitored by a Web-based proctor while the other was not monitored. The results indicated no statistically significant difference between the scores of the two groups, although the non-proctored group had slightly higher scores. There was a statistically significant difference found on the time taken to complete the online exams where the proctored group used significantly less time to complete their exams. The results of a post-experiment survey indicated that those who were not proctored perceived to have experienced greater levels of opportunity to engage in misconduct than those who were monitored by a Web-based proctor.
