System for the Administration of a Secure, Online, Proctored Examination
A system for secure, web-based, proctored examinations is provided. A web-based platform allows for test delivery beyond a local testing center with the test delivered directly to the test-taker. Computing devices that have been secured for the taking of an examination allow a student or prospective professional to access an examination wherever there is an Internet connection. As a result, students and professionals can take examinations where they live, learn, and work thereby reducing the costs associated with travelling to testing centers and minimizing time away from work. Test-takers, proctors, instructors, administrators, authors, and test developers can all access data and test information anytime and anywhere. Secure examinations can be taken under the purview of a proctor either in person or via the Internet and utilizing any number of testing environment capture devices in conjunction with data forensic technologies.

Proctored Performance Analysis
ActiveUS20110207108A1Competence can be readilyElectrical appliancesSimulatorsTest takerComputer science
Systems and methods described herein provide for administering and proctoring of a secure online exam that allows for complex testing utilizing practical examination tasks. The practical examination tasks provide for evaluation of the knowledge of the exam taker, as well as the exam taker's ability to apply that knowledge in a real-world environment. By performing the practical examination tasks in the context of a secure online exam, the competence of the test taker can be readily determined without worrying about the exam taker illicitly accessing information on their computer or via a remote source of data. The exam taker may perform the practical examination tasks through manipulation of an evaluation application executing on the exam taker's secured computer. The practical examination tasks may also be carried out through manipulation by the exam taker of an evaluation apparatus coupled to the exam taker's secured computer.

A Consolidated Online Assessment System (COLA System) that creates, manipulates, and distributes an objected-oriented paradigm that represents the scoring and related activities as a unified and integrated family of loosely coupled objects, most notably a “Case” representing a state-machine that replaces the constructed response from the test taker as the unit of work. The Scoring Model and associated Properties that encapsulate the business rules associated with what actions are appropriate or required for a unit of work and the Responses to the unit of work which represent the test-taker-contributed content (e.g., essays or other text-based responses, audio responses, digitized video responses, scanned images, diagrams, lessons plans, etc.) and ties that content to its creator are linked to a Distinct Scorable Unit (DSU) which represents a tree-based mechanism that connects and provides inheritability for the other primary system objects. The abstraction of the DSU allows the system to distinguish between the constructed response as test-taker contributed content and the constructed response as the carrier of state or status information as it passes through the assessment process.

Systems and methods described herein utilize a distributed server network to allow for the real-time distribution of copies of a data stream uploaded from a computing device. The uploaded data stream corresponds to an environment surrounding a user (exam taker) of the computing device during execution of a testing routine for an examination. Providing copies of the data stream in real-time allows proctors as well as other test assessment authorities to ‘peek in’ on the exam taker's environment during the exam. As a result, the environment surrounding the exam taker can be monitored in real-time to determine whether any visual or audio activity in the environment constitutes activity not in accordance with the exam protocol. Following an affirmative determination that the exam taker violated an exam taking protocol, a proctor or other test assessment authority can then make a final or early decision regarding disciplinary action.

Analysis for Assessing Test Taker Responses to Puzzle-Like Questions
InactiveUS20090142742A1Less guessingGood challengeElectrical appliancesTest takerTheoretical computer science
Some embodiments of the invention provide computer-delivered curriculum content to a student. The curriculum of some embodiments includes learning interactions that are designed to give a student substantive feedback when the student provides a response to a “puzzle-like” question. Puzzle-like questions are questions that have a solution space with a relatively large number of potential responses (e.g., with more than one correct answer or partially correct answer or partially incorrect response or incorrect response). Some embodiments provide assessment analysis for the puzzle-like questions. When a test taker provides an incorrect response or a partially correct response, for example, some embodiments present to the test taker prestored feedback regarding the particular misunderstanding that is associated with the response in order to explain the possible misunderstanding. Some embodiments perform the assessment analysis for puzzle-like questions by using a rule-based technique to describe multiple acceptable responses (e.g., one or more completely correct answers and one or more partially correct answers). Rules can be specified to associate commentary to different possible responses. Some embodiments embed the rules in an XML format that is utilized at runtime.
