Is online proctoring fraudulent?

When applying online proctoring, you digitally supervise an exam. When using such applications, questions naturally arise. If you cannot physically see someone, does this not encourage fraud? In short: is online proctoring fraudulent?

Interest in cheating

As long as candidates have an interest in committing fraud, new opportunities will be sought. The fact that the tools used are becoming increasingly sophisticated makes preventing exam fraud not easier. Just like with a ‘regular’ exam at a location with a supervisor, online proctoring cannot guarantee 100% security. The human eye cannot see everything, but the artificial intelligence of the software offers many solutions. Checks are carried out on the system on which the exam is taken, the exam environment and identity card verification. All these tools contribute to better detection of fraud.
