E-Learning Utilizing Remote Proctoring and Analytical Metrics Captured During Training and Testing

A device configured to utilize training techniques and to gather information while training and administering certification examinations. Certification examinations may require security to ensure users taking the certification examination are actually the user designated on any issued certificate. When certification examinations are administered remotely from a proctor, different techniques to identify the user and attempt to guarantee that the user is not obtaining outside aid during the examination may be performed. Tests may be administered off-line while not connected to any network and locally cached data may be collected on the testing device for later transmittal to a back-end server for further analysis. In addition to remote proctoring/invigilating capabilities, the disclosed techniques and device may collect metrics that have a number of uses. For example, skill level of different geographical regions may be calculated to assist companies in determining a location for a new factory (e.g., assembly plant).
