EduLab Co., Ltd., which develops educational services, has started the development of a new service in collaboration with the Eiken Foundation of Japan, which allows you to take the CBT version of the Eiken exam while you are at home.It is the first domestic test-related service to be equipped with an online test supervision system, and is aiming to start the service by the end of FY2020.
According to EduLab, this system is a mechanism that promotes double identity verification and fraud check by artificial intelligence and humans.Currently, the home-based examination method introduced in Japan uses a system developed in Europe and the United States, but the new service records all the state of the examinees during the examination and the operation log of the personal computer, and artificial intelligence. And pursue a higher level of fairness and rigor than the current one.
Among them, artificial intelligence identifies the movement of the face and eyes from the image taken by the webcam, and also confirms whether there is any suspicious point in the behavior of the examinee even with human eyes.
Until now, examinations and various certification tests have been carried out in the form of gathering test takers at the venue, but it is thought that the use of home-based tests and test centers will increase in the wake of the Corona disaster.However, it was difficult to check whether the person himself / herself was taking the test at home or at the test center and whether there was any fraudulent activity.
EduLab has taken measures such as incorporating facial recognition into its own online English test, but aims to provide a fairer service by developing it.
