Today at the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism has already started entrance exams in Bachelor's degree areas with the help of the leading online- proctoring system “Examus” which has been actively used for more than five years by leading universities in the USA, Europe, Asia, Russia and Kazakhstan.
Online-proctoring is a monitoring system that based on built-in artificial intelligence, detects prohibited actions before and during the exam. The monitoring is carried out from three sources: audio, video stream and desktop screen recording. When you try to open another tab in the browser (except for the exam window) or to spy/eavesdrop on a hint, the system automatically fixes the violation. The system works equally well with both individual users and thousands of people. All that is required for verification is a stable Internet connection, a computer or laptop with support for a webcam and a microphone.
It is worth noting that for objective control over the quality of the entrance exams were invited foreign representatives of the company “Examus”.
Dmitry Istomin, CEO and founder of the “Examus” Company, told: "We are impressed with the level of equipment of the University that uses this technology, and I am very glad that we are launching the first project of this scale in Uzbekistan with the “Silk Road” International University of Tourism that. I would like to note that during the pandemic, almost all educational institutions are switching to a remote format and are forced to conduct exams and tests remotely. However, it is extremely difficult to ensure control over compliance with all procedures, to track whether students are cheating. We allow students to be confident in their results, excluding any substitution, or influence from outside. That’s why we need this system online proctoring".
"We are pleased to start cooperation with the first University of Uzbekistan, which conducts the exam with the help of the automated system of online proctoring "Examus", we hope for further cooperation, and we are confident that the “Silk road” University of tourism will become a model for other universities,"- said the project Manager of the company "Examus" Panchenko Andrey.
It is also worth noting that the entire process of passing entrance exams is under the strict supervision of employees of the National Guard of the Republic of Uzbekistan, as well as employees of the department of the examination commission of the University. You can watch the live broadcast from the place of delivery on the university's website, as well as on the social networks YouTube and Facebook.
