E-Learning Utilizing Remote Proctoring and Analytical Metrics Captured During Training and Testing
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory communicatively coupled to the processor;
one or more video capture devices communicatively coupled to the processor; and
one or more sensors, wherein the memory stores instructions, that when executed by the processor cause the processor to;
verify a user is authenticated to the device using only local information stored on the device;
provide an examination or training session to the user using only local information stored on the device, the examination or training session each comprising a plurality of questions selected from one or more question banks; and
capture and locally store a plurality of metrics during the examination or training session, the plurality of metrics captured periodically and intermittently at a frequency unknown to the user, wherein the plurality of metrics comprise at least two of security metrics, performance metrics, and analytical metrics, wherein the security metrics comprise information, obtained from the one or more video capture devices or the one or more sensors, related to determining an identity of a person interacting with the device during the examination or training session.

Abstract
A device configured to utilize training techniques and to gather information while training and administering certification examinations. Certification examinations may require security to ensure users taking the certification examination are actually the user designated on any issued certificate. When certification examinations are administered remotely from a proctor, different techniques to identify the user and attempt to guarantee that the user is not obtaining outside aid during the examination may be performed. Tests may be administered off-line while not connected to any network and locally cached data may be collected on the testing device for later transmittal to a back-end server for further analysis. In addition to remote proctoring/invigilating capabilities, the disclosed techniques and device may collect metrics that have a number of uses. For example, skill level of different geographical regions may be calculated to assist companies in determining a location for a new factory (e.g., assembly plant).
