How to help teachers deal with students’ cheating in Online Examinations: Design and Implementation of International Chinese Online Teaching Test Anti-Cheating Monitoring System (OICIE-ACS)

The authenticity and effectiveness of teaching testing and evaluation is an important evaluation index for the development of online teaching, and how to combat cheating behavior has become a significant impediment in this process. This paper introduces a hybrid technology based on a fuzzy evaluation method that is used to judge and prompt (suspicious) cheating behavior in international Chinese online teaching tests or evaluations. The goal of this hybrid technology applied to international Chinese online teaching is to assist teachers in monitoring and judging international students’ cheating behavior in online testing or evaluation, and making sound judgments on it, to ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of the test or evaluation results. Based on the technical root of cheating behavior in the online testing process, as well as the technical flaws in various existing online testing systems, this system proposes the idea and scheme of online examination cheating detection using fuzzy cluster analysis, as well as the specific implementation steps. We applied the system to the small-scale practical teaching process to test its security and stability, and we got the expected positive results.
