Identity verification

Photos will be taken before, during, and after the test to verify the test taker’s identity.

Require Photo ID

The Test taker will be requested to show a Photo ID when taking the first photo.
Note: Request Photo ID is not a file upload feature but a simple request to the user to take a photo with their ID document.

Face detection during the Test

Our AI-powered face detection feature ensures that the test taker remains in front of the screen at all times, helping to confirm their presence throughout the entire session. If the test taker leaves the screen or if multiple faces are detected, the system alerts the user and logs the event in the results for the administrator.

What is tracked and logged:

• When the user’s face is not visible
• When multiple faces are present

How it works during the Test

Before the Test starts:

• The user is prompted by the browser to allow access to their camera.
• The user must take an initial photo (with an option to require a Photo ID).

During the Test:

1. The user sees a video thumbnail
2. A photo is taken randomly during the test
3. When Face Detection is enabled: the user’s face must remain visible at all times. If the face disappears or if a second face appears, the user is warned and the event is logged for the administrator

After the Test:
A final photo is taken when the user finishes the test.

How does the flagging system work?

ClassMarker strives to ensure fairness for all test takers. Our algorithm includes a built-in margin of error that allows up to 5 seconds away from the test and a maximum of two ‘left’ events. This provides some flexibility for minor mistakes early on.

Here is the scale we use:

No events

No flag

2 events or less
Less than 5 seconds away
0 camera events

Within margin of error
No flag but events are
visible in results

3 events or more
5 seconds away or more
1 camera event or more

Flag

Other settings

Photo retention
For privacy and security reasons, all photos are automatically deleted after a specified period of time.
