Developing TAMEx Model For Availability Aspect of E-Exam Security in WLAN Environment

The internet has provided a tremendous impact on educational development throughout the world. The E-Exam system is one of the educational components which has been used increasing dramatically for evaluating the educational process. As an e-exam feature, uniformity of system access and time duration of the exam to all examinees is very important to be considered. Exam manager usually utilizes a fixed network to connect all e-exam terminals in order to maintain service stability on e-exam systems. However, the use of a fixed network will be difficult to be implemented if the number of examines is large. There are not many Education institutions that have adequate ICT infrastructure or e-exam terminals for all students. Most institutions develop WLAN networks as an alternative to being able to provide ICT services to all students. With the development of mobile device technology (Handphone or Laptop) that strongly supports the learning process through mobile devices. This research aims to develop an application of the Time Adaptive for Mobile E-Exam (TAMEx) Model. It serves to maintain the reliability of e-exam implementation on WLAN networks. The possible connection disruptions are anticipated by seeking time compensation only to participants who have experienced the connection problem. The time compensation must be in accordance with the duration of the occurrence of connection loss. Application development has been carried out and is functioning properly. The report of the application shows that it has succeeded in identifying the connection disturbance duration and provide time compensation to the proper examinee.
