The Evolution of Cheating in Online Exams
Cheating has evolved far beyond simple textbook references or whispered answers. Some of the most concerning modern cheating methods include:
1. AI-Powered Answer Generators
Students now use AI-powered tools, such as ChatGPT-like models and purpose-built exam assistance programs, to generate real-time answers. These tools can be embedded in various applications or accessed through discreet means, making detection difficult.
2. Smart Wearable Devices
Smartwatches, AR glasses, and hidden earpieces allow test-takers to receive external help without raising suspicion. These devices can discreetly display information or transmit answers via voice commands.
3. Remote Collaboration & Screen Sharing
Unauthorized screen-sharing software enables test-takers to receive live assistance from external individuals. With covert remote access, another person can manipulate the test-taker’s screen and provide answers.
4. Impersonation & Deepfake Technology
Identity fraud in online exams is now facilitated by deepfake technology, where test-takers use AI-generated face and voice manipulation to impersonate another individual. This makes simple photo or ID verification methods insufficient.
5. Browser Manipulation & Automated Scripts
Tech-savvy students exploit vulnerabilities in online testing platforms using browser plugins or automated scripts that fetch answers without triggering standard security measures.
