Abstract

This project aims to overcome the problem of fraud among students when exams are conducted online. The project was carried out by developing an online exam system software called D2U Exam which has several features that can be used to prevent students from copying during the exam. D2U Exam is developed using the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) programming language and tested by providing this system to users. The results of the study found that the developed system is effective in preventing students from c o p yi n g d u r i n g online exams. The use of this D2U Exam system also found that it is a good way to overcome the problem of copying among students because it has some good functions such as students cannot surf the internet when this system is open on their computer, and they cannot use the keyboard for improper purposes.
