Android-Based Online Exam Application 

Abstract - Technology raises new innovations, technology can make learning systems easier and more flexible to access. Online exam platforms is one example of technological impact in learning system that facilitate the implementation of learning evaluations both from student and teacher side. However, in practice the implementation of a flexible online examinations is still not well implemented. About 73.6% of students think that it is easier to cheat on online exams than conventional exams, this fact raises fears of cheating such as impersonating and answer copying if online exams are conducted remotely. https://codeshoppy.com/ herefore, to make implementation of the online exam more effective, an authentication system is needed to minimize possible fraud. 

This system was created as a continuous authentication implemented on online exam system so that exam activities can be monitored even if done remotely. In general, the system consists of two modules, namely the authentication module and the supervision module. The combination of the two modules can realize an examination system that can authenticate test participants and monitor the conditions during the exam. Thus, online exam activities can be carried out more flexibly anywhere without worrying about fraud due to lack of supervision. Keywords—online exam, continuous authentication, cheating 

INTRODUCTION  

The impact of technology in education can be seen from the development of learning systems. According to Alonso and Norman in particular there are four types of learning systems, namely conventional learning systems, instructional learning systems, e-learning, and mobile learning [1]. M-learning supports learning activities carried out continuously through mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets flexibly anytime and anywhere [2]. Over times, emerging innovations implemented as a feature on m-learning, such as online exam. 

Adapted from the conventional exam system the online exam was developed as an examination system that utilizes the internet network. Through the online exam system, examinees can access exam questions and answer without requiring a question sheet or answer sheet in physical form. However, there are still deficiencies in the implementation of online examinations. Currently the online test execution is often still held together in a room. This is less effective and makes no significant difference between conducting online examinations and conventional examinations [3]. Chula G. King's research shows that 73.6% of students think that cheating on online tests is easier than doing it on conventional examinations [4], Based on this it is necessary to improve the effectiveness of online examinations so that they can be carried out remotely and without supervision. The way to minimize cheating on online exams, especially impersonating is to develop a continuous authentication system on online exam applications that can validate the suitability of the examinees and identify participants who cheated during the exam. Hopefully, by the authentication in the online exam application makes online test activities can be done remote and unattended supervisors but can be implemented properly and without any fraud.
