Those are supplemented by plagiarism prevention system Urkund and lecture capturing system Echo360.
Harno is now however planning on giving universities an option to use an application named Proctorio. “This is a solution developed in the United States that is making its way in Europe. The solution allows for out-of-classroom exam monitoring, if the student has given their permissions,” Reimand explained.
