StudentWatch (shipped under the display name E-Monitor) is an iPad and iPhone app for exam invigilation. A single screen lays out 16 desks with two seats each, so a proctor can give a different amount of time to any of 32 students, watch every countdown at a glance, and get an alert the moment a student's time runs out. It is aimed at teachers and exam proctors who run individually timed or accommodated exams in one room. The on-screen interface is in Turkish, and the app is at the development stage.
- Individual countdown timers for 32 students: enter the exam length in minutes and the label counts down live
- Remaining time for every student visible at a glance
- Alert when a student's time is up, after which that seat resets to idle
- Per-student reset button to stop and clear a running timer
- 16 tables of two seats, all visible on one iPad screen, with scrolling on phones, smaller iPads and narrow windows
- Input validation (whole minutes from 1 to 1440) and deadline-based countdowns that stay correct after time in the background; timers live in memory and do not survive app termination
