SMOWL overview

What is SMOWL?

SMOWL is a proctoring solution, which generates evidence for correct decision-making at the time of online exams. This software supervises test-takers by verifying identity and monitoring behavior during exams administered remotely.

The software captures facial images instead of video recording to reduce internet bandwidth usage. It performs user authentication via facial recognition to guarantee completely online training and evaluations. During exams, SMOWL tracks test-takers' computer activities, such as browsing history and use of unauthorized programs. Additionally, webcams monitor test-takers throughout the assessment.

SMOWL generates customizable real-time alerts based on suspicious behaviors and provides detailed post-exam reports. The software integrates seamlessly with most learning management systems within two days using an intuitive plugin. Organizations can easily scale up licenses to accommodate volume. Advanced configuration settings allow clients to tailor SMOWL to their specific proctoring needs.

By enabling remote exams, SMOWL saves significant time, infrastructure, and documentation costs associated with in-person assessments. The software complies fully with privacy regulations including GDPR. SMOWL is an adaptable and budget-friendly proctoring system that adds credibility to online education and evaluations.
