Mastering Exam Proctoring
Zero Cheating, where we excel at the values of privacy, integrity, and equity (PIE) in academic assessments. As leaders in exam-proctoring software, we're committed to revolutionizing the landscape of academic integrity. With a keen understanding of the importance of fairness, security, and privacy in exams, our innovative solutions uphold these core values. Through our patented technology and unwavering dedication to academic honesty, we empower institutions, educators, and students to create a level playing field where every individual can excel without the burden of bias or unfair advantages.
Privacy
Privacy is paramount at Zero Cheating, where we prioritize the confidentiality and security of student data. Our approach to privacy protection is rooted in several key principles:
Focused Recording
Our system constantly monitors for suspicious activity, such as the presence of prohibited items, but only records when such activity is detected. This approach ensures that students are not continuously recorded throughout the exam, preserving their privacy.
Limited Access
Video recordings are accessible to universities briefly, allowing them to review any flagged incidents. We do not retain recordings indefinitely, firmly putting data access control in the institution's hands.
Enhanced Privacy Features
Our software integrates advanced privacy features, including background filters, to prevent the capture of students' personal surroundings. This safeguards their privacy rights and ensures a comfortable testing environment.
Robust Data Security
Zero Cheating collaborates with leading technology partners to implement stringent security measures, protecting student data from potential threats such as hacks, leaks, or unauthorized access.
Integrity
With innovative technology, Zero Cheating provides schools and educational institutions with a robust solution to ensure academic integrity, fostering a fair and secure testing environment. Here's how our solution guarantees a fair and secure exam experience:
-
Advanced Detection
We utilize cutting-edge technology, including our proprietary patented camera equipped with motion sensors and multiple lenses, to accurately identify unauthorized items and individuals in the exam room. Our software also detects attempts to cast screens or use external monitors via Bluetooth, HDMI, or other methods, further bolstering our detection capabilities.
-
Phone and Device Management
We offer the option to require students to switch their phones to airplane mode, ensuring a distraction-free testing environment. Our AI object detection verifies that students have put their phones away and are not using any illicit devices, preserving the integrity of the learning process.
-
Comprehensive Monitoring
Our system ensures data protection and student privacy by capturing and sharing only images of unauthorized or unapproved items. No human proctors have access to detailed views of students' workspaces. Our software monitors for and detects unauthorized devices like phones or tablets, while approved materials such as calculators and notecards remain undisturbed.
-
Browser Lockdown
Our browser monitoring feature tracks all websites viewed and software emulators used, preventing cheating through online search engines or virtual machines. This ensures a secure testing environment and supports academic integrity.
Proactive Audio Monitoring
We employ proactive audio monitoring to detect and flag suspicious sounds or voice activity during the exam, aiding in identifying potential cheating attempts.
Equity
Zero Cheating is committed to fostering fairness and inclusivity in academic assessments through our innovative approach:
-
Equitable Assessment
Our focus is on identifying and flagging disallowed items or materials, ensuring the assessment remains fair. We do not monitor or evaluate student movements or facial expressions, as studies have shown that AI evaluation of behaviors can be biased. By prioritizing object detection, we promote integrity in the exam process without introducing bias.
-
Accessible Technology
We understand the diverse needs of students, including those with disabilities. Our software is designed to accommodate all individuals, refraining from penalizing movements or physical symptoms unrelated to cheating. This ensures that every student has an equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities.
-
Inclusive Monitoring
Our proprietary multi-lens camera technology offers a nearly 360-degree view of the exam environment. This comprehensive monitoring capability allows us to maintain exam integrity without impeding student mobility, fostering inclusivity in testing conditions.
-
Non-Discriminatory Approach
Our commitment to equity extends to ensuring that our technology does not exhibit bias or discriminate against students based on any personal characteristics, including race, gender identity, or others. Zero Cheating strives to create an environment where every student feels valued and respected during assessment.
Reporting
Zero Cheating redefines the reporting experience by prioritizing efficiency and clarity, and empowering professors with enhanced tools and evidence.
-
Streamlined Organization
Reports are organized with students having the most violations at the top, making it easier for educators to save time and focus on relevant breaches of academic integrity. This streamlined approach helps educators efficiently address potential issues, ensuring a fair and productive learning environment.
-
Visual Documentation
We enrich the reporting process by providing direct access to visual evidence alongside textual descriptions. Professors can simply click on links associated with each student's violation to view photos, videos, or recordings depicting the specific instance of misconduct.
-
Comprehensive Evidence
Whether it's unauthorized materials usage or the presence of additional individuals during exams, Zero Cheating captures video or photographic evidence to illustrate violations comprehensively. This aids professors in assessing the situation accurately and taking appropriate actions.
-
Screen Activity Recording
Our system meticulously records students' screen activity throughout the exam, facilitating easy verification of prohibited actions like accessing disallowed websites. Professors can efficiently review recorded segments, focusing solely on the violating activity, thereby optimizing their assessment process.

-
Location Verification
Besides biometrics, our app employs location technology to confirm the user's physical presence during online exams. This ensures the integrity of the exam-taking process by verifying that the user is at their designated computer location.
-
