Monitoring exams

If it is impossible to change the assessment methods, there are technical possibilities for monitoring students' exam performance. However, we recommend that you leave the monitoring of exam performance to be the last choice.

• Safe Exam Browser

• Monitoring with video conference tools

• Screencast of exam

• Monitoring by remote proctoring software

If a video recording or monitoring software is intended to be used as a means of identifying the actions of a student at an examination, the lecturer shall:

1. inform the student about the use of video recording/monitoring software before the exam;

2. ask for the prior written consent of the student.

Written consent shall include the following information:

1. data processing: video recording/monitoring during the examination;

2. course title: /to be filled in by the lecturer/;

3. name of the lecturer: /to be filled in by the lecturer/;

4. video recording device/ monitoring software: /to be filled in by the lecturer/;

5. purpose of data processing: passing an exam;

6. period of preservation of the data: from the examination to the end of the semester;

7. the person responsible for deleting the data: the person preserving the data.

Written consent may be requested from the student by e-mail or other technical means. For example, when asking for consent by e-mail, a lecturer may ask the student to give confirmatory consent to use the tool by responding to the letter.
