Cheating deterrence with virtual scratch paper
Cheating deterrence in electronic reality environments during a testing activity is improved over real-world anti-cheating and test monitoring by displaying and recording use of virtual scratch paper by user, such as student, that is wearing an electronic reality display device and engaged in the testing activity. A monitor of the testing activity, such as a teacher, can watch the recorded use of the virtual scratch paper by the user to help deter cheating.
1 . A method for deterring cheating in a virtual reality educational environment comprising:
displaying a test activity in the virtual reality educational environment to a display of a virtual reality headset device worn by a first individual engaged in the test activity;
displaying virtual scratch paper during the test activity to the first individual; and
recording use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual during the test activity, wherein said recording includes both the first individual engaged in the test activity and the virtual scratch paper as they are appearing together in the virtual reality educational environment.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying said use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual to a second individual monitoring the test activity.
3 . A method for deterring cheating comprising:
displaying virtual scratch paper to a first individual wearing an electronic reality display device engaged in a test activity; and
recording use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual during the test activity, wherein said recording includes both the first individual engaged in the test activity and the virtual scratch paper as they are appearing together in a virtual reality educational environment.
4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising displaying said use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual to a second individual monitoring the test activity.
5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the electronic reality display device is a virtual reality headset.
6 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the electronic reality display device is a virtual reality headset.
7 . A system for deterring cheating comprising:
a processor in communication with a memory and an electronic reality display device, the memory including instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
display virtual scratch paper to the electronic reality display device during a test activity; and
record use of the virtual scratch paper during the test activity together with a first individual using the virtual scratch as they appear together during the test activity.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the memory further includes instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display said use of the virtual scratch paper to a monitor of the test activity.
9 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the electronic reality display device is a first virtual reality headset display device.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the electronic reality display device is a first virtual reality headset display device.
11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the memory further includes instructions, which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to display said use of the virtual scratch paper to a monitor of the test activity on a second virtual reality headset display device.
12 . A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method for deterring a first individual using a virtual reality display device from cheating during a test activity in a virtual educational environment, the method comprising:
displaying virtual scratch paper to the first individual using the virtual reality display device engaged in the test activity; and
recording use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual during the test activity wherein said recording includes both the first individual engaged in the test activity and the virtual scratch paper as they are appearing together in the virtual reality educational environment.
13 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform a method further comprising:
displaying said use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual to a second individual monitoring the test activity.
14 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform the method wherein
said recording use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual is while the first individual is wearing a virtual reality headset device while engaged in the test activity.
15 . The computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to perform the method wherein
said recording use of the virtual scratch paper by the first individual is while the first individual is wearing a virtual reality headset device while engaged in the test activity.
