Rethinking Online Proctoring in the Age of AI: Comparing Strategies for Secure Remote Assessment
The rapid rise of Generative AI has transformed the assessment security landscape, exposing the limitations of traditional webcam-based proctoring and creating new challenges around AI assistance, proxy testing, and OS/network-level vulnerabilities.
This discussion session will explore the evolving spectrum of online proctoring and assessment security strategies, from traditional monitoring approaches to emerging preventative and zero-trust models. Panellists will examine the strengths, limitations, and trade-offs of different approaches, including AI detection, behavioural monitoring, lockdown environments, and deterministic prevention techniques designed to stop misuse before it occurs.
The conversation will focus on how organisations can balance security, candidate experience, privacy, scalability, and trust while protecting the integrity of remote high-stakes exams and interviews in an AI-driven world.
About the e-Assessment Association
The e-Assessment Association (eAA) is the global, independent community for professionals involved in digital assessment. As a not-for-profit organisation, we connect practitioners, technology providers, educators, awarding organisations and researchers around the world to share expertise, set standards and champion the trusted use of technology to transform assessment practice and policy. Our community offers valuable insights, events, resources and opportunities that support professional growth and innovation across all sectors of education and assessment.
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Networks are at the heart of our collaborative activity. SIGs bring together members with shared interests in specific areas of digital assessment to exchange ideas, share best practice and advance their collective expertise. Through focused discussions, webinars, working groups and content contributions, SIGs help shape the agenda in areas such as AI in assessment, accessibility, online proctoring, workforce mobility and more.
Our Networks provide facilitated communities for specific audiences. For example, the Awarding Organisation (AO) Network supports assessment organisations to collaborate, share experience and develop practice in technology-enabled assessment delivery.
We encourage you to explore all that the eAA has to offer.
