Practical integrity controls for online classroom exams
Combine clear assessment rules with appropriate exam settings. Browser controls can support classroom supervision, but cannot guarantee that cheating is prevented.
Choose timing that fits the task
Set a time limit appropriate to the reading and writing required. Explain the conditions before students start, and account for any arrangements your class needs.
Randomize question order where useful
Random question order can reduce identical sequences across students. It does not stop students from communicating or using a second device.
Understand copy restrictions
Copy restrictions can discourage direct copying within the exam page. They do not make the content impossible to photograph, reproduce, or access through other tools.
Interpret page-switch signals carefully
A signal that a student left the page is a reason to review context, not proof of misconduct. Technical interruptions and legitimate navigation can also matter.
Use human judgment
Review the assessment conditions and student work before drawing conclusions. Examonkey is not remote proctoring or a locked-down testing environment.
