Abstract

In the last few years, e-learning has revolutioning education, giving students access to diverse and adaptable on-line resources, but it has also face a major challenge: cheating on online exams. Students now use variant cheating methods include consulting unauthorized documents, communicating with others during the exam, searching for information on the internet. Combating these cheating practices has become crucial to preserving the integrity of academic assessments. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as an essential tool for mitigating this fraudulent behavior. Equipped with advanced machine learning capabilities, AI can examine a wide range of data to detect student suspicious behavior. This study develops an approach based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) model designed to detect cheating by analyzing candidates' head movements during online exams. By exploiting the FEI dataset, this model achieves an interesting accuracy of 97.28%. In addition, we compare this model to the well-known transfer learning models used in the literature namely, ResNet50, VGG16, DenseNet21, MobileNetV2, and EfficientNetB0 demonstrating the out performance of our approach in detecting cheating during online exams.

Abstract

Distance education has been prevalent since the late 1800s, but its rapid expansion began in the late 1990s with the advent of the online technological revolution. Distance learning encompasses all forms of training conducted without the physical presence of learners or teachers. While this mode of education offers great flexibility and numerous advantages for both students and teachers, it also presents challenges such as reduced concentration and commitment from students, and difficulties in course supervision for teachers. This article aims to study student engagement on distance learning platforms by focusing on emotion detection. Leveraging various existing datasets, including the Facial Expression Recognition 2013 (FER2013), the Karolinska Directed Emotional Faces (KDEF), the extended Cohn-Kanade (CK+), and the Kyung Hee University Multimodal Facial Expression Database (KMU-FED), the proposed approach utilizes transfer learning. Specifically, it exploits the large number and diversity of images from datasets like FER2013, and the high-quality images from datasets like KDEF, CK+, and KMU-FED. The model can effectively learn and generalize emotional cues from varied sources by combining these datasets. This comprehensive method achieved a performance accuracy of 96.06%, demonstrating its potential to enhance understanding of student engagement in online learning environments.
