Monitor the exam

Detected events, a risk score, integrity reports, and an examiner who decides.

During the exam, Evalmee detects screen exits, copy and paste, and the presence of a second screen, then assigns a fraud risk score. All of it is consulted in the integrity reports. Depending on the options enabled, the webcam and the microphone record the session and screenshots are triggered.

What is detected, and how

The exam takes place in a standard browser, and an optional desktop app is available for Mac and Windows. There is therefore no lockdown browser to impose: what Evalmee does is detect specific events and report them back to you.

  • Mandatory full screen: the participant sits the exam in full screen
  • Screen exit alert: the participant is warned when leaving the exam screen
  • Copy and paste detected: the participant's copy and paste actions are spotted
  • Second screen detected: the presence of an additional screen is spotted
  • Fraud risk score: assigned from what has been detected
  • Video proctoring: webcam and microphone, recorded throughout the exam

Integrity reports, reserved for the examiner

The detected events, the screenshots and the risk score are consulted in the integrity reports, and on the timeline of the session from the participant's submission. None of it is visible to the participant, even when you share the graded submission with them.

  • Integrity reports: the detected events and the risk score, brought together
  • Timeline: the events of the session, in order
  • Screenshots: attached to the participant's submission
  • Screen exits: count, cumulative duration and duration of the longest one
  • Never shared with the participant: the report stays on the examiner's side

Talking to participants without interrupting the exam

Two channels run in parallel: the chat with you, and the technical support chat with the Evalmee team. A participant blocked by a technical problem therefore does not have to call on you.

  • One-to-one exchange: the participant contacts you, and you can start it too
  • Announcement to everyone: one message broadcast to all participants at once
  • Separate technical support: blocking problems go to the Evalmee team
  • Completion notification: an email as soon as a participant finishes, if you enable it

What does the examiner see during the exam?

The tracking table shows, for each participant, their status, the number of questions they have answered and their screen exits, expressed as a count, a cumulative duration and the duration of the longest exit. Counters summarize the session.

Four counters give the overall picture and the list can be filtered by group and by status. The screen remains a tracking table, not a wall of alerts: it is in the integrity reports that the detected events and the fraud risk scoreAutomated proctoringSupervision carried out by algorithms that analyse the video feed, the sound and the activity on the device in order to flag atypical events: face absent, second person present, window switched. The flags produced are leads to be investigated, never proof of cheating in themselves. are read.

How does identity verification work?

The participant photographs their identity document and their face with their webcam before reaching the exam. The examiner then compares the two, in a dedicated tab, and confirms or rejects personally. No AI validates a document in their place.

The review is done from the keyboard, one document after another. Identity card, passport or student card are accepted: it is up to you to decide what counts as proof in your context. Two conditions to know: identity verificationCandidate authenticationVerification that the person sitting the exam is the person enrolled: named credentials, sign-in through the institution's directory, checking an identity document, sometimes a biometric comparison. The level of verification is set by the stakes of the exam and by the data it makes it legitimate to process. requires video proctoring to be enabled, and both options must be ticked before the session opens.

There is no facial recognition and no biometric identification in Evalmee. The comparison is made by a human, and that is a choice, not a step we have simply failed to automate so far.

What exactly is recorded?

Two distinct measures, not to be confused. Video proctoring turns on the webcam and the microphone and records the whole exam. Screen recording produces no video: it takes screenshots when certain events occur.

The events that trigger a screenshot are limited and documented: leaving the window during the exam, using another application, leaving full screen mode, and the detection of a suspicious browser extension. Copy and paste and the presence of a second screen are detected separately.

Screen recording restricts the exam to computers. This restriction can be lifted participant by participant, which makes room for a special case without changing the rules for everyone.

Does anything need to be installed to sit the exam?

No. The exam takes place in a standard browser. A desktop app is available for Mac and Windows: it is optional, it makes the candidate's experience simpler, and the exam can still be sat without it.

The paper itself is never downloadable in advance. It is loaded at the moment the participant opens the exam, which is a point of integrity as much as a technical detail: the questions do not circulate before the opening time.

Working offline is possible.

What is an integrity report?

The integrity report brings together, for one participant, the events detected during their exam and the fraud risk score assigned to them. It is reserved for the examiner: the participant never sees it, even when you share the graded submission with them.

A risk score is not a verdict. It closes no exam, reports no one on your behalf and constitutes no proof. The examiner is the one who decides, and the examiner is the data controller; Evalmee is the processor.

What the report brings together

  • Screen exits: count, cumulative duration, duration of the longest one
  • The copy and paste actions detected
  • The detected presence of a second screen
  • The screenshots triggered by events
  • The fraudExam misconductAny conduct aimed at obtaining a mark that does not reflect the candidate's own work: unauthorised documents, communication with a third party, impersonation, undeclared use of a generative tool. How it is classified and what follows from it are set by the institution's regulations. risk score

What Evalmee does not do, deliberately

Evalmee uses no facial recognition and no biometric identification: the comparison between the identity document and the face is made by a human. AI plays no part in proctoring at any point, it only assists grading.

Evalmee never turns on the webcam or the microphone on its own initiative. These options are enabled by the institution, they are visible to the person assessed and they are subject to prior notice.

An institution that expects biometric identification of the candidate should therefore know it before signing. What we claim is narrower and easier to verify: specific events detected, a score that summarizes them, and an examiner who decides. What the six other French platforms document on automated proctoring, live human proctoring and workstation lockdown is set out in the comparison of online exam platforms.

These choices are not technical gaps. Copy and paste detection, second screen detection and the risk score have nothing biometric about them: they concern what happens on the machine, not the candidate's body.

What actions remain possible during the exam?

You can add time for a participant, close their exam, reopen it, or reset their attempt and their grade. Each action has a precise consequence on the time remaining, and the interface shows the new end time before you confirm.

Reopening follows a rule better known in advance: the time remaining is calculated from the participant's start time. For a participant whose time is up, the order matters: add time, then reopen.

What happens to the recordings, and who can see them?

Image and audio data from remote proctoring is deleted by default after three months, a period matching the handling of appeals. A different contractual duration is possible on Enterprise plans, without exceeding twelve months.

Access to the recordings is reserved for examiners of the client organization. Downloading and external distribution are prohibited except under legal obligation, access can be logged, and Evalmee does not access the recordings beyond technical necessity.

Data is hosted in France, with Scaleway and AWS France. Encryption is applied in transit, over HTTPS with TLS 1.2 or 1.3, and sensitive data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 or hashed.

Frequently asked questions

Screen exits, copy and paste, and the presence of a second screen. Screenshots are also triggered by four events: leaving the window, using another application, leaving full screen mode, and the detection of a suspicious browser extension.

Yes. The events detected during the exam and the resulting risk score are consulted in the integrity reports, which are reserved for the examiner. The score is not a verdict: it closes no exam and does not replace the examiner's decision.

No. The exam takes place in a standard browser. A desktop app is available for Mac and Windows: it is optional, it makes the candidate's experience simpler, and the exam can still be sat without it. Working offline is possible.

No. The paper is not downloadable in advance: it is loaded at the moment the participant opens the exam, so the questions do not circulate before the opening time.

The participant photographs their identity document and their face with their webcam. The examiner then compares the two and confirms personally. No facial recognition or biometric identification is involved: the comparison is made by a human.

Image and audio data from remote proctoring is deleted by default after three months. On Enterprise plans, a different duration can be set contractually, without ever exceeding twelve months.
