Abstract

This article analyzes the characteristics and potential ways of cheating during the process of online examination and the shortage of existing online examination system´s anti-cheating measures. Based on these two points, the article provides two solutions to prevent cheating. The first solution is based on the automatic generating examination paper algorithm which takes advantage of the principle of knapsack problem. And the other is based on the self-developed ActiveX control. Accordingly, while reducing the probability of examiners cheating, the fairness of online examination system will be enhanced.
