Purpose

We propose to develop a system to assure academic integrity both in online and traditional education; to improve students’ learning experience and their performance; and to improve instructors’ teaching experience and their interaction with students. We will work towards developing cost-effective, scalable, privacy-preserving, seamless, and functional solutions. We will particularly contribute to collecting, preprocessing, and building datasets for our study; we will conduct in-class/online experiments, and pre-/post- questionnaire surveys to evaluate our proposed system. Our research will shed light on the student perception and usability of the system.
