Examinee Identification in e-Test using Press Localized Arc Pattern Method

Abstract

In this paper, we study an identification method to confirm examinees periodically during e-tests. First, we apply the localized arc pattern method, conventionally used for off-line identification based on the arc of an individual stroke of a certain sentence on paper, for examinee identification using pen tablets. Second, we propose a pressure localized arc pattern method that utilizes writing pressure which can be obtained on pen tablet, and evaluate the effectiveness of this method. Finally, we conduct e-tests to evaluate the pressure localized arc pattern method. Results of the e-tests suggest that pressure localized arc patterns can be used in examinee identification.
