IRIS Invigilation vs OctoProctor

IRIS Invigilation records audio, video, and computer-screen activity during remote assessments, then uses machine learning to flag possible academic dishonesty in a reporting dashboard. Identity and behavior checks include face recognition with ID verification, eye-movement tracking, and detection of multiple faces, audio, windows, and applications. Reviewers can see AI commentary, screenshots of AI tools and apps, and an AI-usage probability score with comments. The system can take random activity snapshots, record full or summary audio and video, and filter assessments by misconduct probability. It connects with learning management systems such as Canvas, Moodle, and Blackboard, and lists external student-information-system integration. IRIS supports lower-, medium-, and higher-education exams, tests, and quizzes. Students need a Windows or Mac computer with camera, microphone, speakers, and reliable internet. Mobile devices and tablets are unsupported. Data is hosted in AWS Sydney, recordings are kept one year, and pricing depends on student numbers and assessment hours.

OctoProctor provides online proctoring for universities, corporate training teams and testing platforms. It offers AI, automated, live and hybrid models, with identity verification, browser lockdown, screen recording and webcam monitoring listed.
