Description
e- Invigilation is the use of remote-controlled terminals that are linked with the main servers of any
institutions. E-invigilation is very important in managing both offline and online invigilation of
examinations. This is vital for eradicating examination malpractice on the part of the students. There is
a disenchantingly slow evolution of ICT use in the invigilation of students in the Nigerian educational
school system. The main roles of ICT in education are to provide the prospects and trends of
integrating communication technology into the educational processes. Hence, one of the vital areas of
incorporating ICT is in the invigilation of examination in order to bring to fore its effectiveness. In
reality, an efficient and effective system of the invigilation process is essential in increasing the
credibility of the entire educational assessment in Nigeria. This fundamental area constitutes an
inevitable reality in modern education, especially with security of examinations in mind that attracts the
law of morality. The method of data analysis incorporates both descriptive and logistic regression
modeling. Therefore, Invigilation should not be played down with regard to the issues of assessment.
The study proposes a model that is relevant for e-invigilation, discusses the pros and cons of einvigilation
in system of education in Nigeria and makes policy recommendations towards
incorporating e-invigilation in the educational system of higher education in Nigeria.
