During Covid-19 lockdowns, much of the education was moved online. Online exams were especially demanding because it was difficult to monitor students and prevent cheating. Video chat applications allow for some monitoring, however they are not designed for asymmetric use. The thesis presents a prototype of an online application that connects the professor to each student and enables dedicated asymmetric communication between them. While students can communicate only with the professor, the professor can monitor and communicate with all students. The application is based on the open-source WebRTC standard. The prototype application was evaluated for scalability and user experience. We also set guidelines for possible improvements.
