Teaching and exam proctoring represent key pillars of the education system. Human proctoring, which involves visually monitoring examinees throughout exams, is an important part of assessing the academic process. The capacity to proctor examinations is a critical component of educational scalability. However, such approaches are time-consuming and expensive. In this paper, we present a new framework for the learning and classification of cheating video sequences. This kind of study aids in the

The dataset consists of suspicious actions in an exam environment. Five classes of cheating were performed by eight different actors. Each pair of subjects conducted five distinct cheating activities. To evaluate the performance of the proposed framework, we conducted experiments on action recognition tasks at the frame level using five types of well-known features. The findings from the experiments on the framework were impressive and substantial.
