Online Exam Proctoring System

Project Description:

This project is part of our bachelor final year project. The project will help solve a current global problem faced by many institutions and teachers to assess students fairly in an online setting. The proctoring system is expected to have facial monitoring, audio monitoring, and browser tracking features. The teachers will be provided with an interface to control the features, and the students will also be provided with a separate interface to monitor them during the assessment. This project will be built on the technologies of Computer vision, Machine Learning, and Web development. After the completion of the coding and testing of the project, it is deployed on Amazon Web Services.

Technologies used:

1. Node js Backend
2. Python Flask Backend
3. React js Frontend

The Node.js Backend Communicates directly with the front end, whereas the Flask Backend is used for deploying the ML model and exposing the APIs for getting model results.

How to Run the Application

Make sure you have installed:

1. Python
2. Node.js

Steps:

1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/ahmadrazakhawaja/fyp_project.git

2. Create python virtual environment:
   go to project root folder and run the command on windows: py -3 -m venv venv on mac: python3 -m venv venv

3. Activate Python virtual Environment:
   run this command to activate virtual environment on windows: venv\Scripts\activate on mac: source venv/bin/activate

4. install dependencies:
   go to project folder cd project now run the command pip install -r requirements.txt to install python dependencies

5. Activate flask backend:
   go to project directory cd project In the project directory run the command on windows:set FLASK_APP=app on mac:export FLASK_APP=app

   Set dev environment and to automatically refresh the backend flask server set FLASK_ENV=development Then run the command to start server flask run Show all dependencies pip freeze

   Create a requirements.txt file with all dependencies pip freeze > requirements.txt

   Install all dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt

6. Activate Node backend:
   go to Node_backend folder (Need to have Node.js installed on device) cd project/Node_backend

   Install Dependencies npm install

   To List dependencies npm list --depth=0

   Run Backend development server npm run dev

7. Activate react frontend:
   From the project directory go to frontend/ my-app / folder and run the command npm start to activate react frontend

How to push

Make an empty git repo git init

Add files to repo git add --all

Commit files to repo git commit -m "Committed"

~If Already initialized a repo then just do these 3 steps: Create branch to put files online git branch -M master

Add remote origin git remote add origin https://github.com/ahmadrazakhawaja/fyp_project.git

Always pull before pushing to github repositiory git pull

Push to online repo git push -u origin master
