For the achievers who don’t comprise, Proctortrack is here! Exams are the most crucial part of your academic year. Be it a weekly assessment, fall or spring semesters, or high-quality, competitive exams. Every student prepares hard and sometimes goes the extra mile to make their families proud and gain an edge to their careers. In an era where conducting and giving exams was running as smoothly as possible, COVID-19 touched down and changed the entire world.
But, here’s a positive side to the story. As we know, the education sector was struck massively due to the pandemic and might be the last one to return to normalcy; it is the only sector breaking new grounds in terms of growth.
Online learning emerges as a breath of fresh air!

Learning experience platforms (LXPs), the next-level learning management systems (LMS), will play a crucial role in providing customized and social online learning experience. Learning Experience Platforms or LXPs, the market that has already passed the $350 million mark (Bersin, 2018), are AI-powered learning mediums expected to take flight in the coming years.

Currently, online proctoring solutions are the most sought after tools adopted by institutions during the pandemic.
