E N D
Welcome to the Remote Proctor Session • Power of positive thinking • Brief History • How the students takes an exam • How the instructor creates an exam • View video captured by the proctor
Online Testing Integrity • Is the student who is taking the test, the one registered for the course? • Is the student using notes or an open book? • Is the student copying & sharing the exam? • Is there someone else in the room helping? • Is the student using the Internet to find the answers?
Distance Education Policy Statement Distance Education Policy Statement The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Colleges “When examinations are employed (paper, online, demonstrations of competency, etc.) they take place in circumstances that include firm student identification. The institution otherwise seeks to assure the integrity of student work.” – SACS, Best Practices for Electronically Offered Degree and Certificate Programs section 5b (CS 3.4.6 and CS 3.4.10)
Current Practices • Students must come to campus to take an examination • Only graduate programs require a proctored exam • Online tests with time limits and passwords • Webcam monitoring • The current practices do not satisfy expected test integrity standards.
The Goal • Troy University and Software Secure have partnered to develop a Distance Education Solution to: • Verify student identification • Decrease online cheating • Eliminate the need for students to go to the campus to take an exam • Eliminate the need for students to have a human proctor for an exam • Exceed the Regional Accreditation and Federal Regulation requirements
A Trusted Partner with Experience • Six year-old company based in Cambridge, MA • Partnered with over 200 educational institutions, including K-12, undergraduate & graduate schools • Extensive experience with high-stakes testing including bar examinations (NY, GA, KY, AL) and the Chartered Accountant exam throughout Canada • Already had established partnership. • “Securexam Browser” which ensures that end user cannot cheat with their computer, but does not currently guarantee that the user is who they say they are or prevent others students or course materials in the room at the time of the test.
