At QProctor, Ankara University TÖMER and the Ministry of Family and Social Services we undertook a major social responsibility project under a protocol signed between them. In this project, which digitized the certification process for individuals who had received sign language training, QProctor provided end-to-end online exam security and monitoring (proctoring) for all 10,000 candidates.
Social Responsibility & Case Study
Ankara TÖMER The software specially developed by our company for secure exam infrastructure enabled candidates to take the Turkish Sign Language Exam.
Launched in 2023 and installed on the institution’s own servers (On-Premise), this system has operated continuously and successfully for three years, enabling tens of thousands of candidates to be certified to interview security standards.
Security and Infrastructure Needs in Sign Language Exams
By their nature, sign language exams are entirely different from standard multiple-choice exams. Both the rapid, uninterrupted loading of video-based questions and the accurate analysis of candidates’ movements using proctoring systems are required.
Challenges
Challenges Encountered
- The massive server load generated by 10,000 candidates taking video- and image-intensive sign language exams.
- The need for adaptive assessment technology suited to the exam content (sign language).
- Risks related to camera angles and video-based online exam security , rather than standard text-copying violations.
Solution
The QProctor Solution
- Keeping data on TÖMER servers through an on-premise installation.
- A video-based adaptive exam engine capable of measuring four core skills to CEFR standards.
- AI monitoring focused on movement and liveness proctoring monitoring.
Modules Developed Specifically for the Project
In keeping with the nature of this social responsibility project, QProctor’s secure exam infrastructure was tailored entirely to TÖMER’s needs, rather than relying on a standard infrastructure.
Deployment on TÖMER Servers (On-Premise)
As required by the protocol between Ankara TÖMER and the Ministry, the software was integrated directly with Ankara TÖMER’s servers and exam center instead of using cloud infrastructure, to ensure maximum data security. This kept data privacy at 100% online exam security within institutional boundaries.
CEFR-Supported Adaptive Assessment Technology
The software was designed in accordance with the standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Using technology tailored specifically to sign language, the adaptive exam measures candidates’ four core language skills with high accuracy.
AI-Powered Secure Exam Infrastructure
QProctor’s advanced systems were deployed in exams attended by 10,000 candidates proctoring algorithms. During the exam, actions such as impersonation or accessing resources outside the screen were detected and prevented by AI.
Ministry of Family Employment Integration
Candidates who successfully completed the exam through QProctor secure exam infrastructure and qualified to receive a Sign Language Certificate are assigned to relevant positions directly by the Ministry of Family with this official certificate.
Process Management and Operational Steps
The process was flawlessly implemented in five key steps through collaboration between Ankara TÖMER and QProctor:
1
Protocol and Needs Analysis
Specific assessment needs for the sign language exam were identified in line with the protocol established with the Ministry of Family and Ankara TÖMER.
2
Development of Adaptive Software
QProctor developed a custom adaptive exam engine, supported by CEFR, measuring four core skills and designed for video-based questions.
3
On-Premise Integration
The developed secure exam infrastructurewas securely delivered to and installed on Ankara TÖMER’s own servers and at its exam center.
4
Exams Administered to 10,000+ Candidates
Over the three-year period, tens of thousands of candidates experienced uninterrupted exams with QProctor proctoring algorithms.
5
Certification and Assignment
The certificates of candidates who completed the exam with integrity and successfully were approved through the system, paving the way for assignments by the Ministry of Family.
Three Years of Success and Sustainability
This system, launched in 2023, has continued to operate successfully on Ankara TÖMER’s servers for the past three years with an academic infrastructure, without a single outage or security breach.
Secure Exam Infrastructure and Proctoring Technologies
In large-scale certification programs attended by tens of thousands of candidates, such as those at Ankara TÖMER, preventing cheating in exams and interviews is the system’s most critical foundation. QProctor completely closes the gaps in traditional monitoring with secure exam infrastructure that can be scaled to meet organizations’ specific needs.
Comprehensive Online Exam and Interview Security
In modern assessment processes, whether it is an academic language test or a corporate recruitment stage; interview security and online exam security must be handled with the same technological precision. QProctor’s advanced proctoring (online invigilation) algorithms instantly detect screen-sharing attempts, the use of a second smart device, and unauthorized people entering the frame, creating cheating prevention protection that comes close to 100%.
- AI-Powered Proctoring: AI monitoring that detects in real time micro-expressions that the human eye might miss, off-screen attention, and suspicious sounds.
- Cheating Prevention in Exams and Interviews: Lockdown technology that prevents candidates from receiving outside help or using AI assistants such as ChatGPT during video interviews and written exams.
- Secure Exam Infrastructure for Organizations: Infrastructure that integrates with on-premise servers, as in the TÖMER project, or with highly scalable cloud architecture, maximizing data privacy (GDPR/KVKK).

What Is QProctor?
What is a secure online exam system, and how does it work?
Online exam systemsare digital assessment platforms that run on cloud-based infrastructure or on-premise servers, as in the Ankara TÖMER project. They work with AI-powered proctoring (proctoring), biometric identity verification, LTI integration, and interview security dynamics.
What is online proctoring?
Online proctoring systems ensure security using AI-powered behavioral analysis, liveness detection, and biometric verification. Especially in video-based adaptive exams such as sign language exams, they maximize the system’s online exam security capacity by monitoring candidates’ behavior.
How is cheating prevented in online exams?
Cheating is prevented using a lockdown browser, AI-based facial tracking, and screen-recording monitoring. QProctor’s secure exam infrastructure allows candidates’ attempts to switch to different tabs or get help from external sources to be completely blocked.
