Introducing 42 Examshell: A Secure and Collaborative Examination Platform for Coding Bootcamp Environments Abstract In the rapidly evolving landscape of coding education, remote learning platforms like 42 face critical challenges in administering secure, fair, and collaborative assessments. This paper proposes the development of 42 Examshell , a specialized examination environment designed to enhance the integrity and interactivity of coding assessments within 42 's existing pedagogical framework. Building on the school’s unique peer-to-peer learning model and its open-source infrastructure, Examshell introduces a secure coding environment with real-time monitoring, plagiarism detection, and collaborative problem-solving features. We evaluate Examshell’s potential to reduce academic dishonesty while fostering collaborative learning during remote exams. Our findings suggest that integrating Examshell into 42 's ecosystem could significantly improve the fairness and scalability of assessments, ensuring alignment with modern educational and cybersecurity standards. 1. Introduction 42 , a pioneering coding bootcamp institution, relies on a peer-driven learning model and a robust open-source environment called 42sh to train software engineers. While this approach has successfully fostered self-directed learning, the lack of a dedicated, secure, and collaborative examination platform has posed challenges in assessing coding proficiency during remote or hybrid courses. 42 Examshell
I need to ensure all sections flow logically. Also, check for any technical inaccuracies since I might not have first-hand knowledge of 42's internal systems. Should mention that "42 Examshell" is a hypothetical or proposed tool for this paper. References would include 42's existing publications, online learning best practices, and cybersecurity measures. 42 Examshell represents a paradigm shift in remote
