Candidates cheat by impersonation, using hidden notes and stolen test materials (brain dumps), and communicating with helpers. If people can cheat, what’s the value of a certification?
Companies use human proctors and test centers to combat cheating. Nobody likes test centers. Who wants to sit in a spartan room being watched under the glare of fluorescent lights? Is this the experience you want candidates to have with your company and certifications?
In a world of on-demand Internet everything, having to schedule and reserve a seat for an exam (up to 200 miles away) is an unnecessary burden. Using test centers limits the number and speed at which you can certify candidates.
The bill for human proctors, test centers and candidate support starts out big and goes up from there.
Certification is complex. Creating, updating, and retiring certifications, managing candidates and partners, and administering and grading tests all requires a lot of work. The logistics of reserving, scheduling, and proctoring tests at far flung test centers strains the capabilities of the patchwork of currently available systems. Can you imagine how it will be when you are doing 10, 100, or 1000 times as many certifications?

Artificial intelligence is at the core of Rosalyn’s automated proctoring. AI eliminates 95% of human intervention increasing speed and reach and cutting costs by 50%. We also use AI to improve other aspects of the certification process to increase the validity, security and ultimate value of your certifications.
Using biometrics and computer vision, Rosalyn’s AI can determine whether the person starting and finishing a test is who they claim to be. Impersonation and unauthorized re-taking are dramatically reduced.
The AI proctor continuously monitors multiple datastreams from the test environment. Datafeeds from the computer’s operating system, webcam, microphone combine to render a highly accurate model of what is going on around the test taker. Computer vision catches violations like the presence of another person in the test space. Speech recognition can identify language or dialogue indicating cheating. Gaze detection algorithms discover if candidates are looking at something outside the camera’s field of view. Camera detection is alert for illicit recording of the test.
Beyond detecting gross violations within the discrete audio or computer vision streams, the AI looks at all the data together to uncover subtler cheating cues. For example, the AI will detect if the candidate is not looking at the part of the screen they likely should be when typing in the answer to a question. Hundreds of thousands of past testing sessions provide a rich data set to train the AI on these subtle hidden cues. Datastreams include not only the computer vision and audio, but the inputs and answers of the test session: keyboard signatures, answer timings, and item scores. These test session data streams are augmented by external attributes such as the location and demographics of test-taker to create an incisive multi-attentive proctoring model.
The system processes data in real-time. An advanced rules engine operates on the real-time data to trigger automatic proctoring interventions. Interventions can escalate from direct warnings to instant arbitration from a human proctor.
Does your test score the skills it's supposed to? Do geographic and cultural biases skew the curve? Rosalyn’s aggregated real-time session data and test-taker attribute sets offer psychometricians unprecedented data access to improve the validity of tests.
Rosalyn’s multi-attentive AI examines more and different data sources than any human proctor ever could
No more paying for physical test centers. Remote AI proctoring is more secure and convenient. A 10X better experience for candidates, test sponsors and partners alike. Grow your certification program as fast as you want with unlimited testing and global reach.
Of all the people who have been certified, how many are holding the most current certification? How many of them are at the point where you want to offer them a refresh? You want to be able to pull those numbers up in a dashboard. Those metrics are important because they speak to your ability to deploy new versions of your software and be sure you have people in your user community who know how to run them.
Cheating is poison to a certification program. If you have cheating take hold, you are going to end up with a pool of people in your certified community who are underqualified working in the industry and the reputation of your program will suffer. We believe that working with Rosalyn, we might be able to actually scale our program considerably, while still maintaining high standards of exam security.
