26. Hardware
Software
Functioning of Tool Kit
• A slider: cardboard above the keyboard
• A multi purpose clip with a reflector and
wide angle camera
• Reflector: embedded on the clip
• Camera: wide angle
• Motion sensors
The slider will act as a table for students to write
and attempt the exam. The reflector embedded
on the clip would enable teacher to see what
students have been writing. Wide angle camera
would capture students movements during the
exams.
• A server: for smooth functioning of
online assessment
• Freeze screen: Students would not
be able to switch tabs
• Red Flag: Sensors will keep an eye
on students movements
The freeze screen technology and camera
with motion sensors will ensure the fairness
of the online learning experience. Heavy
movements of students will be captured by
sensors and will allot a red flag (warning).

27. CONCLUSION
“ Old model of online
assessment.”
“Sometimes cheaters
score more then
honest students.”
“Remote Proctoring of
assessment is not
possible.”
“Using of multiple tools
becomes a burden.”
Creative solution.
Maintains fairness for all.
The live streaming coming
from the reflector and 360
camera will be switching
with the frequency of 5
secs and will be monitored
by teacher.
The tool kit is a one stop
solution.
